Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Apex Friendship). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the Green Hope Falcons 49-0 on the road. Given the Patriots' advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina football rankings (they are ranked 98th, while the Falcons are ranked 336th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Apex Friendship's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged three passes before it was all said and done. It was truly a group effort as Logan Faulring, Jaxon Alongi, and Alongi picked up one apiece.
Apex Friendship's win bumped their record up to 3-1. As for Green Hope, their defeat was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 0-4.
