Robinson can attribute much of their success to Bryshun Cunningham, who rushed for 73 yards and one TD on only ten carries, and Charles Petty, who rushed for 28 yards and one touchdown. Those 73 rushing yards gave Cunningham a new career-high.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Robinson was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 329 rushing yards. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their rushing yard total in three consecutive contests.
Another reason for the win was Robinson's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for five sacks. Jackson Redman was especially locked on to Beebe's QB and sacked him twice. Another thorn in the Badgers' side was Lennox Campos, who picked up a sack and made ten total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, you can't lose the game if you win every quarter, and that was precisely Searcy's strategy against Pine Bluff on Friday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that the Lions blew the Zebras out of the water with a 50-22 final score. The Lions pushed the score to 37-14 by the end of the third, a deficit the Zebras had little chance of recovering from.
Robinson's record is now 7-0. As for Searcy, their record now sits at an identical 7-0.
The upcoming game will be a clash of competing strengths. Robinson has deployed a run-first offense that has averaged 196.9 rushing yards a game. Meanwhile, Searcy has preferred to attack from the air: they average 271.6 passing yards per game. So which strategy will prevail on Friday? There's only one way to find out.
Everything came up roses for Robinson against Searcy when the teams last played back in October of 2024, as the team secured a 49-14 victory. In that matchup, the Senators amassed a halftime lead of 42-0, an impressive feat they'll look to repeat on Friday.
