The Mays Raiders will head out on the road to take on the M.L. King Lions at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both will really light up the scoreboard.
Mays is headed in fresh off scoring the most points they have all season. They breezed by Jackson at home to the tune of 34-6 on Friday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Kamari Johnson continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 191 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries. With that strong performance, he is now averaging an impressive 103.4 rushing yards per game. Clayton Coppock also helped with two touchdowns in total.
Mays didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Chance Thomas and Antavis Collins. Collins is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made six or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season. Another thorn in Jackson's side was Savion Husband, who made 16 total tackles.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Mays was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 381 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for M.L. King, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Monday. They blew past Midtown, posting a 47-7 victory at home. The win was a breath of fresh air for the Lions as it put an end to their three-game losing streak.
Mays is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games, which provided a nice bump to their 4-2 record this season. As for M.L. King, their victory bumped their record up to 2-5.
Everything came up roses for Mays against M.L. King in their previous meeting back in September of 2015, as the squad secured a 45-6 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Mays since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
