Bell had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They took down the Woodson Warriors 28-14 on Friday. This was payback for the Griffins, who suffered a 54-8 loss the last time these two teams met.
Bell's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Jorden Carter, who rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries. Will Hewitt was another key signal caller, throwing for 207 yards and a pair of TDs.
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.
Bell's defense stepped up as well, laying out the QB four times. In that department, Larron Metcalf was the leader with 2.5 sacks.
