Quarterback Alex Hamby was 9-for-21 totaling 118 passing yards plus 87 rushing yards and five touchdowns.

Edgewood Academy snapped a four-game losing streak Friday night in spectacular fashion, defeating visiting Valiant Cross 41-0.

“This was huge for us,” Wildcats coach Scott Phillips said. “We toned practice down and made sure we knew what we were doing. I was really proud of my seniors. I told them they’ll always remember their last win, and I wanted to win this game for them.”
