The Sand Rock Wildcats will challenge the Vincent Yellow Jackets at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.
Sand Rock will head into Friday's contest hoping to keep the good times rolling: they proved they can win big two weeks ago (they won by 39) but last Friday they proved they can win the close ones too. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Whitesburg Christian Academy , sneaking past 27-24.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Vincent, who bounced back after a loss on the road two weeks ago. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 21-19 victory over Montevallo last Friday.
Jayden Roberts continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 182 yards and two touchdowns. Phoenix Maxwell also deserves a mention for his punt return touchdown.
Vincent was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 328 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since the start of last season.
On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Vincent's defense and their three sacks. In that department, Ethan Mcelrath was the leader with two.
The win got Sand Rock back to even at 5-5. As for Vincent, their victory bumped their record up to 8-2.
