After three games on the road, Dayton is heading back home. They will welcome the Nederland Bulldogs at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Last Friday, Dayton had to suffer through a 47-14 loss at the hands of Montgomery. While losing is never fun, the Broncos can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 423rd, while the Bears are ranked 156th).
Although Dayton took the loss, they still got scores from Jaleel Kendrick and Jerry Prieto Jr.
Dayton wouldn't let Montgomery keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Dayton can thank Andrew Soliz and Rakin Akmal for forcing both of them. Akmal also set a new season high mark in total tackles with 17. Another thorn in Montgomery's side was Ashanti Allen, who made 11 total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended three passes.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Nederland). They breezed by Splendora at home to the tune of 63-12 on Friday. With the Bulldogs ahead 49-12 at the half, the game was all but over already.
Dayton's loss dropped their record down to 2-2. As for Nederland, their win bumped their record up to 3-1.
