The Bishop Ward Cyclones will be defending their home-field for the first time this season they go up against the Washington Wildcats at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Bishop Ward is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They had to suffer through a 63-7 loss at the hands of Rock Creek.
Meanwhile, Washington took care of business in their home opener on Friday. They walked away with a 36-26 victory over Sumner Academy.
One reason for the win was Washington's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for six sacks. Leading the way was Walter Lewis and his two. Washington got some further help from Jeffery Thompson: he picked up a sack and made eight total tackles (7.0 for loss).
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Washington was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 266 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 192 rushing yards in six consecutive games dating back to last season.
