Bell had to kick off their season on the road on Friday, but they showed no ill effects. They strolled past the Woodson Warriors with points to spare, taking the game 28-14. For the Griffins, this counts as revenge for the 54-8 victory the Warriors walked away with the last time they faced one another back in September of 2016.
Bell's win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Jorden Carter, who rushed for 104 yards and two scores on only ten carries. Will Hewitt was another key passer, throwing for 207 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Bell was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 214 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 184 rushing yards in four consecutive contests dating back to last season.
