The Bell Griffins will face off against the Roosevelt Roughriders at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Last Friday, Bell humbled Central with a 51-12 victory. Given the Griffins' advantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked tenth in District of Columbia, while the Falcons are ranked 210th in Maryland), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Antonio` Washington was a one-man wrecking crew for Bell as he rushed for 151 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries, and also threw for 45 yards and two touchdowns. The dominant performance gave him a new career- in total yards. Another rusher making a difference was Aaron Perkins, who rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown.
Bell wouldn't let Central keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Bell can thank Washington and Stephon Joshua for forcing both of them. Washington also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing a fumble and making seven total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, Roosevelt had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They took down Bishop O'Connell 28-10 last Friday.
Roosevelt got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Deyon Smith out in front who rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries. Smith didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made ten total tackles (4.0 for loss). Another player making a difference was Demarean Frazier, who rushed for 72 yards and a touchdown.
