Norcom came into their game on Friday off a hard-fought close win, but unfortunately suffered a serious change of fortune. They took a blow against Maury, falling 66-0. The shutout was out of character for the Greyhounds seeing as the last time the team failed to score was back in September.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Norview). They breezed past Booker T. Washington to the tune of 51-14 on Friday. The home team had taken home the W every time these teams have met since October 8, 2021, but that streak is no more.
Norcom better keep an eye on Jamir Vaughan. He was instrumental in Norview's win, throwing for 238 yards and three TDs while picking up 11.9 yards per attempt, and also rushing for 32 yards and one touchdown. Those three passing touchdowns gave Vaughan a new career-high. Amari Martin was in the mix as well, providing Norview with one score.
On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Norview's defense and their three sacks.

Norview received some extra help from Martin, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.
Norview's win bumped their record up to 5-3. As for Norcom, their loss dropped their record down to 2-5.
Norcom took their victory against Norview when the teams last played back in September of 2024 by a conclusive 33-7 score.
