While Richwoods put up plenty of points on Wednesday, the same can't be said for Urbana. The Knights took their contest with ease, bagging a 59-0 victory over the Tigers. The Knights might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four matchups by 20 points or more this season.
Acosia Morris produced another solid effort rushing for 268 yards and five TDs on only 13 carries. Her longest rush was for an impressive 65 yards, which helps to explain her lofty yards per carry total. Another rusher making a difference was Irene Burns, who rushed for 101 yards and three scores on only nine carries.
Another reason for the win was Richwoods' imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for six sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Aniyah Elmore and Anjaliyah Adams, who racked up all six sacks between them. Elmore is crushing it when it comes to sacks: she's posted at least two every time she's taken the field this season. Mariah Ford got in on the action too, converting a pick into a touchdown.
The win made it two in a row for Richwoods and bumps their season record up to 4-1. The victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 12 points in those games. As for Urbana, they are on a nine-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-4.
Coincidentally, Richwoods and Urbana will both be playing Belleville East the next time they take the field. The Knights will head out to face the Lancers at 5:15 p.m. on Wednesday, while the Tigers will play them later in the day, at 6:30 p.m.
