Last Friday, C.B. Aycock earned a 29-22 victory over Southern Wayne. Given C.B. Aycock's advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina football rankings (they are ranked 141st, while Southern Wayne is ranked 286th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Demon June was a one-man wrecking crew for Jacksonville as he rushed for 180 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries, and also picked up 39 receiving yards. June hasn't dropped below 100 rushing yards for eight straight games. DaMari T Gantt and his 83 yards on the ground were also a key factor in Jacksonville's win.
Their wins bumped C.B. Aycock to 8-2 and Jacksonville to 8-1.
Here's a few offensive stats to keep an eye on ahead of Friday's game: C.B. Aycock has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 220 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Jacksonville struggles in that department as they've been even better at 221.3 per game. It's looking like Friday's match might have some serious battles in the trenches.
