Stratford Academy extended their winning streak to five on Friday, bumping them up to 5-0. They blew past the Brookstone Cougars, posting a 41-14 win. Considering the Eagles have won three games by more than 26 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Tyler Stephens had another great game (as he tends to do), rushing for 234 yards and five scores while picking up 11.1 yards per carry. Those five rushing touchdowns gave him a new career-high. Stratford Academy also got a significant boost from Aaron Jefferson, who ran away from the competition to the tune of 100 yards.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Stratford Academy was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 354 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 167 rushing yards in seven consecutive matchups dating back to last season.
Having lost for the first time this season, Brookstone fell to 5-1. The contest marked their lowest-scoring game so far this season.
Several Cougars players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Broughton Branch, who threw for 186 yards and one TD, and also rushed for 48 yards. Brookstone's leading receiver Jason Kelly was Branch's top target yet again, picking up 103 receiving yards and one touchdown.
Stratford Academy didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next matchup, a 51-13 loss against John Milledge Academy on the 26th. Brookstone has also already played their next contest (against Calvary Christian), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
