While Wheeler has struggled on the road with six straight losses dating back to last season, that wasn't the case on Friday thanks to Brock Adams. The Wildcats walked away with a 34-24 win over the Etowah Eagles thanks in part to Adams, who rushed for 97 yards and three touchdowns.

On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Wheeler's defense and their five sacks. That dominant display was truly a team effort as five different players picked up one apiece.
