Things haven't been easy for Success Unlimited Academy, and their game last Friday only extended their streak of losses to five. They had victory within their grasp but couldn't quite capture it as the squad lost 6-7 to Pike Liberal Arts. Success Unlimited Academy got a solid performance out of junior Jamari Smith, who rushed for 164 yards and 1 touchdown; unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the victory. Smith has been a consistent playmaker for Success Unlimited Academy as this was the 4th good game in a row from him.

Meanwhile, after a dominant win in their matchup two weeks ago, Edgewood Academy were humbled. They took a serious blow against Autauga Academy, falling 3-61. Edgewood Academy were in a tough position by the half, with the score sitting at 3-49.

With the two teams each stumbling in off of a loss, both will be hungry for the victory. Neither squad could put together much of an offensive attack, so expect every point to count.
