Moody and Lincoln are an even 3-3 against one another since October of 2014, but not for long. The Moody Blue Devils will be playing at home against the Lincoln Golden Bears at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Moody has six straight victories, Lincoln has 12 straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Moody is headed in fresh off scoring the most points they have all season. They claimed a resounding 56-13 win over Springville on the road. The result was nothing new for the Blue Devils, who have now won four games by 24 points or more so far this season.

Those 145 rushing yards gave James a new career-high. Le'Kamren Meadows was another key rusher, gaining 117 total yards and two touchdowns.
Moody's defense stepped up as well, laying out the QB three times. Bailey Abercombie was especially locked on to Springville's QB and sacked him twice.
