Bell's match on Friday was close up to the half, which is when they kicked things up a notch. They took their game at home with ease, bagging a 51-12 victory over the Central Falcons. Given the Griffins' advantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked tenth in District of Columbia, while the Falcons are ranked 210th in Maryland), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Antonio` Washington had a dynamite game for Bell, rushing for 151 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries, while also throwing for 45 yards and two touchdowns. The dominant performance gave him a new career- in total yards. Another rusher making a difference was Aaron Perkins, who rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown.
Bell wouldn't let Central keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Bell can thank Washington and Stephon Joshua for forcing both of them. Washington didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made seven total tackles (2.0 for loss).
