Wahama put another one in the bag on Friday to keep their perfect season alive. They put the hurt on the Eastern Eagles with a sharp 55-31 victory. Given the White Falcons' advantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 15th in West Virginia, while the Eagles are ranked 443rd in Ohio), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Connor Lambert continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 264 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 14.7 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run. Reezin Stitt got in on the action too, returning a kick for a touchdown.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Wahama was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 410 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 219 rushing yards in 18 consecutive matchups dating back to last season.
Wahama's win was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-0. As for Eastern, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 5-2.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Wahama will play host again on Friday to welcome Ritchie County, where kickoff is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. One thing working in Wahama's favor is that they have posted at least 31 points every time they've taken the field this season. As for Eastern, they will take on Trimble at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. That contest will pit two of the most dominant backs against one another: Treyvon Bearhs and Owen Sikorski.
