Last Friday, Cairo blew past Kathleen, posting a 63-24 win at home. Given the Syrupmakers' advantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 118th in Georgia, while the Red Devils are ranked 426th in Florida), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Cairo found their leader in underclassman Bryian Duncan Jr, who rushed for 293 yards and five touchdowns on only 14 carries. Duncan Jr's longest rush was for an impressive 66 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
