Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Groveport-Madison). Everything went their way against the Newark Wildcats on Friday as they made off with a 35-13 win. The high-flying offensive performance was a huge turnaround for the Cruisers considering their ten-point performance the match before.
When it comes to explaining why Newark lost, don't look at Bodie Smith. Despite the final result, he threw for 181 yards and one TD, and also punched in one touchdown on the ground.
