Mountain View has been on the road for three straight, but on Friday they'll finally head home. They will host the Atkins Red Devils at 7:00 p.m. Mountain View's defense has only allowed 17.8 points per game this season, so Atkins' offense will have their work cut out for them.
Mountain View's usually-dominant defense will be looking to make up for Friday's struggle, when Mayflower offense got past them. Mountain View had to suffer through a 42-0 loss at the hands of Mayflower. Having soared to a lofty 43 points in the game before, the Yellowjackets' shutout was a dramatic turnaround.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Atkins). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat Episcopal 49-6 on the road. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Mason Martin continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 159 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.4 yards per carry. With that strong performance, he is now averaging an impressive 111.2 rushing yards per game. Jaden Martin was another key player, rushing for 105 yards and a touchdown.
Atkins' defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Austin Martin-Trussell. He is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made six or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season. Another thorn in Episcopal's side was John Davis, who picked up a sack and made ten total tackles.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Atkins was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 332 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 208 rushing yards in four consecutive games.
Mountain View's loss ended a six-game streak of away wins dating back to last season and brought them to 2-2. As for Atkins, their win bumped their record up to 3-1.
