Mayflower — The Mayflower Eagles will travel to Rose Bud on Friday to attempt to extend their perfect 3A-2 conference record against the 0-5 Ramblers.
The Eagles have gone 2-0 in conference games after losing all three non-conference games this season.
Jordan Dycus, the Eagles' senior quarterback, said they should beat the Ramblers handily.
“They have a better team than they’ve had usually, but we should beat them by a few touchdowns,” Dycus said. “But they are not going to give it to us.”
Dycus has completed 55 percent of his passes this season, with nine touchdown passes and four interceptions.
A win in Rose Bud is important to the Eagles’ conference tournament seeding, according to Dycus.
“We’re undefeated in conference, so it’s really important for seeding and playoffs,” he said.
The Ramblers have gone winless while giving up 209 points this season.
In preparing for the Ramblers, Dycus said ball security would be a focus point for the Eagles.
“Our running backs need to hit the holes hard and know where they are going,” he said.
Harding Academy is 5-0 and leads the 3A-2 conference where the Eagles are ranked fifth.
Kickoff is at 7 p.m.
