Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Mays). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the Midtown Knights 41-0. Given the Raiders' advantage in MaxPreps' Georgia football rankings (they are ranked 75th, while the Knights are ranked 382nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Clayton Coppock continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 120 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 94 yards and two touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 54 yards. Jamarion Dowdell was in the mix as well, providing Mays with two touchdowns.
Mays was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 318 rushing yards. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 91.5 rushing yards per game earlier this season, but in their last three matchups they've averaged 272.

Johnson has been hot recently, having also posted five or more total tackles the last four times he's played. Savion Husband was another major factor on D, picking up a sack and making 16 total tackles.
