Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Piper). They took their game on Friday with ease, bagging a 58-21 victory over the West Chargers. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
It was another big night for Roman Byers, who rushed for 144 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.0 yards per carry. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 57 yards.
Piper was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 242 rushing yards. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 73 rushing yards per game earlier this season, but in their last three matchups they've averaged 248.3.
Piper wouldn't let West keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Piper can thank Avery Williams and Trent Rymer for forcing both of them. Williams is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made five or more in the last four games he's played.
When it comes to explaining why West lost, don't look at Josiah Wilkie. Despite the final result, he threw for 353 yards and three touchdowns. 84 of those passing yards were hauled in by Treyvion Barr.
The victory was the third in a row for Piper, bringing their record for this year to 3-5. As for West, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 1-7.
Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Piper will take on Ottawa at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Piper will be hoping to continue their five-game streak of scoring more points each match than the last. As for West, they will square off against Seaman at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both might be coming in a bit winded given these two teams combined for 847 yards in their previous games.
