The Waldron Spartans will take on the Tekonsha Indians at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Waldron knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 31 points or more in their past five games -- so hopefully Tekonsha likes a good challenge.
Waldron is headed into the matchup after thoroughly thrashing Burr Oak: they outscored them in every quarter.

Seth Williams had another great game (as he tends to do), rushing for 21 yards and two scores, while also throwing for 86 yards and one touchdown.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Waldron was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 374 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 213 rushing yards in six consecutive games dating back to last season.
