Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Cosby). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the Unaka Rangers 60-6 at home. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Leading Cosby to victory were Matthew Mcmahan and David Baker. Mcmahan threw for 167 yards and four touchdowns on only ten passes, while Baker rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries. The dominant performance gave Baker a new career-high in rushing yards. Mason Williams was another key rusher, rushing for 87 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
Cosby's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Haiden Nelson and Trevor La Rue. Cosby got some further help from Oliver Zeunik: he picked up two sacks and made six total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Cosby was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 310 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
The victory made it two in a row for Cosby and bumps their season record up to 3-1. As for Unaka, they are on a seven-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-3.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Cosby's homestand will continue as they prepare to take on Claiborne at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Cosby's defense has only allowed 13 points per game this season, so Claiborne's offense will have their work cut out for them.
