Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Lakeland). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the Central Noble Cougars 42-8. With the Lakers ahead 35-0 at the half, the game was all but over already.
A big part of Lakeland's victory came down to the chemistry between Brayden Holbrook and his top target Keyan Arroyo. Holbrook threw for 166 yards and three TDs on only 11 passes while Arroyo gained 147 total yards and three touchdowns. Arroyo also hauled in two receiving touchdowns, which is notable because Lakeland is undefeated when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise. Levi Cook was in the mix as well, providing the Lakers with one touchdown.
Lakeland didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Central Noble to a completion percentage of just 41.7%. The Lakers weren't nearly as limited: they posted one of 54.5%.
When it comes to explaining why Central Noble lost, don't look at Nick Freeman. Despite the final result, he picked up 129 receiving yards and one score. Freeman's longest reception was for an incredible 95 yards.
The win made it two in a row for Lakeland and bumps their season record up to 4-2. The victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 37.5 points over those games. As for Central Noble, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 1-5.
Looking ahead, Lakeland will venture away from home to take on West Noble at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Chargers' defense has only allowed 14.7 points per game this season, so the Lakers' offense will have their work cut out for them. As for Central Noble, they will look to defend their home field on Friday against Churubusco at 7:00 p.m.
