Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Avalon). They claimed a resounding 76-27 win over the Methodist Children's Home Bulldogs. With the Eagles ahead 42-21 at the half, the matchup was all but over already.
Josh Novak had another great game (as he tends to do), rushing for 376 yards and eight scores on only 14 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 55 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Novak was just one part of a punishing run game: Avalon was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 420 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
Special teams also deserves some recognition, posting 11 points in total. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Kade Johnson, who ran a kickoff back for a touchdown.
The victory keeps Avalon at an undefeated 4-0. Those wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they've averaged 63.3 points this season. As for Methodist Children's Home, their loss was their third straight at home, which dropped their record down to 1-4.
Looking ahead, Avalon will welcome Oakwood at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The Eagles will be up against the Panthers' rather soft defense (which has allowed 48.2 points per game), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. As for Methodist Children's Home, they will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Westlake Academy at 7:00 p.m. on October 10.
