The North Cobb Warriors are taking a road trip to challenge the Walton Raiders at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. North Cobb is looking to tack on another W to their seven-game streak on the road dating back to last season.
Last Friday, North Cobb made easy work of North Paulding and carried off a 42-18 victory. The Warriors might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won three matches by 24 points or more this season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Walton). They were the clear victor by a 43-21 margin over Wheeler on Friday. Given the Raiders' advantage in MaxPreps' Georgia football rankings (they are ranked 38th, while the Wildcats are ranked 127th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
The match pitted two dominant backs against one another in Lucas Farrington and Josiah Allen. Farrington had a great game and rushed for 91 yards and two touchdowns. Meanwhile, Allen was balling out in the loss, rushing for 169 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries.
North Cobb's win bumped their record up to 5-0. As for Walton, they now have a winning record of 3-2.
North Cobb came up short against Walton when the teams last played back in October of 2023, falling 35-27. Thankfully for North Cobb, Cameran Loyd (who picked up 196 receiving yards and three touchdowns) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
