The Mayflower Eagles remained undefeated in the 3A-2 Conference after winning 42-27 Friday night in Rose Bud.
The Eagles (3-3) left the Ramblers winless by accumulating 466 yards of total offense, led by Jordan Dycus, who threw for 188 yards and rushed for 118 more.
Dycus had predicted the Eagles should beat the Ramblers by a few touchdowns early in the week.
“[188 yards passing and 118 yards rushing] was a record for me, so I kind of stepped up," he said. "Our receivers stepped up big catching the ball, and our sophomore running back Taylor Mathis stepped up and had some big plays. Really, our running game stood up a lot more. We ran early in the game, so eventually they put more in the box and we were able to pass on them.”
Despite the big win, Dycus said the Eagles could have played better to get ready for undefeated Harding Academy, which heads to Mayflower on Thursday.
“We played really sloppy, we were down in the red zone a few times and missed some opportunities, but I think we’ll be all right,” Dycus said.
The undefeated conference opponents are scheduled to kickoff at 7:30 p.m. at Patrick Stadium Thursday. KARZ (Conway Corp. Channel 9) will broadcast the game.
