On Friday Southampton will have to hit the road after three straight games at home. They will take on the Greensville County Eagles at 7:00 p.m. One thing working in Southampton's favor is that they have posted at least 31 points every time they've taken the field this season.

He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season. Southampton also got a significant boost from Javonte Lynch, who ran away from the competition to the tune of 120 yards.
Southampton wouldn't let Brunswick keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force three fumbles. It was truly a group effort as Qmarai Allen, Miquel Bradshaw, and Timmy Jones picked up one apiece.
Meanwhile, Thursday just wasn't the day for Greensville County's offense. They might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 41-0 to Armstrong (Kennedy), which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior.
