West Laurens extended their winning streak to five on Friday, bumping them up to 5-0. They came within five points of losing the streak, but they secured a 26-21 W against the Harlem Bulldogs. Those 26 points were actually the fewest the Raiders have put up all season, but given the result they're probably not too concerned.
Ty Cummings continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 224 yards and a pair of TDs while picking up 8.3 yards per carry. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 63 yards. Shannon Adkins was in the mix as well, providing West Laurens with two scores.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: West Laurens was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 291 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 176 rushing yards in 11 consecutive games dating back to last season.
West Laurens' defense stepped up as well, laying out the QB five times. That dominant display was truly a team effort as five different players picked up one apiece. They got some further help from Hunter Castellaw: he picked up a sack and made ten total tackles.
Having lost for the first time this season, Harlem fell to 3-1. The loss was their first of the season.
Harlem's loss came despite strong showings from Jayden Futrell and Malik Tyler. Futrell gained 108 total yards and a touchdown, while Tyler rushed for 108 yards. Futrell didn't just play on offense: he also made three total tackles and defended two passes.
Looking ahead, West Laurens will welcome Baldwin at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The Raiders will be up against the Braves' rather soft defense (which has allowed 26.5 points per match), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
