The Freeport Yellowjackets will head out to challenge the Hopewell Vikings at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Freeport is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 28.4 points per game this season.
Hopewell is hoping to do what Highlands couldn't on Friday: put an end to Freeport's winning streak, which now stands at three games. Freeport was the clear victor by a 28-7 margin over Highlands. Considering the Yellowjackets have won five matches by more than 20 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
It was another big night for Drew Ross, who threw for 158 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 passes, and also rushed for 43 yards and a touchdown.
Another reason for the win was Freeport's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for seven sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Dawson Gaillot and Cole Troutman, who racked up four sacks between them. Gaillot is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made five or more in the last 15 games he's played dating back to last season. Another thorn in Highlands' side was Sean Selinger, who picked up a sack and made ten total tackles.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Hopewell). They blew past McGuffey 56-24 on the road on Friday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Hopewell to victory, but perhaps none more so than Tre Cameron, who picked up 106 receiving yards and a touchdown. Brody Rock was in the mix as well, providing Hopewell with two touchdowns.
Freeport has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. As for Hopewell, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 4-3.
