C.B. Aycock and Eastern Wayne are an even 5-5 against one another since November of 2016, but not for long. The C.B. Aycock Golden Falcons will head out on the road to face off against the Eastern Wayne Warriors at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.
While Golden Falcons fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. They took their match on the road on Friday with ease, bagging a 48-20 win over Rosewood.
Ricky Elliott was nothing short of spectacular: he rushed for 218 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.8 yards per carry. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 64 yards. Caleb Frederick was another major influence, as he rushed for 94 yards and ran in a TD.
Another reason for the win was C.B. Aycock's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for four sacks. Rosewood's QB won't forget Jasaan Williams anytime soon given he sacked him twice. Another thorn in Rosewood's side was MarShaun McCullen, who picked up a sack and made nine total tackles (1.0 for loss).
