Pinkston's win ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 2-5. Oby's next match is against Roosevelt on Thursday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

Mcmillon Posts Huge Game in 41-12 Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Tamajae McMillon stepped things up a notch to give Wilmer-Hutchins the 'W'. Nobody could stop McMillon as he rushed for 140 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, and also threw for 310 yards and a touchdown on only ten passes.
McMillon and Wilmer-Hutchins will welcome Kimball at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The matchup will pit McMillon up against the Knights' star QB Armirie Williams-Hall. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.
