First Baptist entered their tilt with Atlas HomeSchool on Friday with three consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with four. They strolled past the Rattlers with points to spare, taking the game 41-26. Given the Saints' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 375th, while the Rattlers are ranked 869th) , the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

First Baptist's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Dylan Jones led the charge by throwing for 257 yards and two touchdowns.

Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something First Baptist proved: they limited Atlas HomeSchool to a paltry 1.8 yards per carry. The team can thank Case Lambeth for the heroic effort on defense: he. First Baptist didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 6.1.

First Baptist's defense also made the game a nightmare for Timmy Thames, racking up seven sacks. Atlas HomeSchool's QB won't forget Kore Thomas anytime soon given he sacked him twice. Thomas is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made five or more in each of the last four games he's played. Marc Gutierrez was another major factor on D, picking up a sack and making six total tackles (3.0 for loss).

Despite the loss, Atlas HomeSchool still got an impressive performance from Thames, who threw for 368 yards and three TDs, and also punched in one score on the ground. 142 of Thames' passing yards were hauled in by Christopher Stewart, who also brought in a receiving touchdown.

First Baptist's record is now 8-2. As for Atlas HomeSchool, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 2-8.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. First Baptist will welcome Sacred Heart at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Saints will be up against the Tigers' rather soft defense (which has allowed 36.63 points per game), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. As for Atlas HomeSchool, they will be playing at home against Tomball Christian HomeSchool at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.
