When it comes to explaining why Martin lost, don't look at Daylon Cobb. Despite the final result, he picked up 168 receiving yards and two TDs, and also rushed for 88 yards and a pair of touchdowns on only six carries. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 76 yards. Javian Jones-Priest was in the mix as well, providing Martin with two scores.
Jayden Bibbs continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines for Bowie, throwing for 328 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 10.9 yards per attempt, and also rushing for 95 yards. Those five passing touchdowns gave Bibbs a new career-high. Keidric Osunde-Brown was Bibbs' top target, picking up 86 receiving yards and a pair of TDs.
Martin's defeat was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 2-4. As for Bowie, the victory (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 4-2.
We've got plenty of inter-district action coming up soon. Martin will challenge rival Haltom at 7:00 p.m. on the 17th. That matchup will pit two of the most dominant backs against one another: Cobb and Vudrico Roberson. Meanwhile, Bowie is set to face off against their familiar foe Arlington at 7:00 p.m. on the 17th. The two teams might be coming in a bit winded given these two teams combined for 996 yards in their previous games.
