Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Hayden). They took their game on the road on Friday with ease, bagging a 60-6 victory over the Lake County Panthers. With that win, the Tigers brought their scoring average up to 32.5 points per game.
Peyton Johnson was nothing short of spectacular: he rushed for 184 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, and also threw for 45 yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made a tackle. Another player making a difference was Carson Campbell, who rushed for 68 yards and two touchdowns.
Hayden wouldn't let Lake County keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Hayden can thank Brody Frentress and Johnson for forcing both of them. Frentress is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made five or more in the last three games he's played.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Hayden was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 359 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
