A sea of red rushed the field Friday night as the Bob Jones Patriots delivered a complete grounding of the baby-blue team from across town. For the second week in a row, the offense put up 50-plus points while the defense showed its stubborn side, leading to a 54–7 victory. The win improves the Patriots to 3–0—their best start since some of the players were just 4, 5, and 6 years old. The last time Bob Jones sat in this position was the 2015 season. The Patriots’ ground game was unstoppable, racking up 265 rushing yards, led by a huge night from Jaden Rice, who gained 199 yards on the ground. The offensive line paved the way, giving the backs room to run and protecting quarterback Jacoby Gill, who threw for 233 yards and a touchdown. Most of Gill’s passing yards went to Chris Caterina, who tallied 120 receiving yards and found the end zone once. Defensively, Romeo Washington stood out again with 13 tackles. Tyler Karl and Sheldon Sharp added nine and eight tackles, respectively, while seven different players recorded tackles for loss. The kicking game continued to impress as Nolan Whigham and Rocky Ray connected on PATs and field goal attempts. Looking ahead, the Patriots aim to build on their 3–0 start and 1–0 region standing as they prepare to host another Huntsville rival. To continue proving their dominance, the Patriots will need to face all of the teams from that town. Fans, come out Friday night and be part of the “Big Red Wave” that will send this opponent back east!...

OUR PATRIOTS QUICKLY SEND THE GENERALS MARCHING BACK TO HUNTSVILLE The Bob Jones Patriots made quick work of the team from Huntsville with all cylinders firing in a 50 - 28 wipe out. The impressive part? The Patriots hung half a hundred on the Huntsville team by halftime! If you were updating folks with the scores during the first half you had finger cramps midway through the 2nd quarter due to the pace at which the Patriots were scoring. This wipe-out was preceded by a nice little win in the town down I-65, 28 - 3. It is the second year in a row Bob Jones has opened the season 2 - 0 and will be looking to stretch the record to 3 - 0 as they face the crosstown rival Friday night at 7:00. The team has shown ample offensive power to start the season moving the ball both with the pass and run. Gakobey Gill has led the way with his arm totaling 466 yards passing and six touchdowns. On the receiving end of most of those completions has been BJ Carter with 169 receiving yards and three scores. On the ground Jaden Rice has covered 90 yards while crossing the goal line twice. The defense has been just as tough, laying out opponents and disrupting plays. Romeo Washington and Tyler Karl lead the team with 11 tackles apiece. Miles Mitchell and Karl have tallied three sacks each, while Nakobi Weatherspoon has created chaos with three QB hurries. Aaron Mitchell has secured the lone interception through two games. The Patriots are expecting a huge crowd Friday night as they take on the baby-blue team from down the road. The best band in Alabama will have the stadium rocking, and the BJHS cheerleaders will keep the energy high. We look forward to seeing you there as the Patriots aim to move to 3–0! ...
