Johnwil Spruiel and Co. Win Sixth in a Row

He also punched in two rushing touchdowns, which is notable because Sulligent is 7-2 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
This year, Spruiel has averaged 4.5 total tackles per game.

Preston Lancaster was instrumental in extending Tuscaloosa Academy's winning streak to three on Friday. Lancaster did his part (and then some), throwing for 255 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.1 yards per attempt, and also punching in a touchdown on the ground for the 'W'.
If history really does repeat itself, Lancaster might just drop another big game when he faces off against Pisgah on Friday. Lancaster threw for 426 yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 53 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in November of 2023.
