The Jackson-Olin Mustangs will take on the Homewood Patriots at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Jackson-Olin, yet to win a game, are hoping to taste some of the success that has characterized Homewood's (thus far) undefeated season.
Last Friday, Jackson-Olin took a blow against Gardendale, falling 51-14. While losing is never fun, the Mustangs can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Alabama football rankings (they are ranked 234th, while the Rockets are ranked 58th).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Homewood). They breezed by Woodlawn at home to the tune of 52-14 on Friday. Fans of the Patriots have seen this all before: every one of the games they've played this season has ended in a blowout of 20+ point.
Evan Ausmer continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 95 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, while also picking up 46 receiving yards. Kaleb Carson was another key player, throwing for 46 yards and two touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Homewood was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 211 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
Jackson-Olin's defeat dropped their record down to 0-3. As for Homewood, their victory bumped their record up to 4-0.
Jackson-Olin might still be hurting after the 28-6 loss they got from Homewood in their previous matchup back in October of 2019. Thankfully for Jackson-Olin, Pate Owen (who threw for 259 yards and three touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also punched in a rushing score) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
