LAFAYETTE (6-0) – 13, 0, 13, 7 -- 33

In early October, Lafayette kept its share of the Bay Rivers District and undefeated record intact, outslugging the Lions of Warhill 33-6 on Friday evening at Wanner Stadium.



Breon Stokes rushed for three touchdowns in the second half as the eighth-ranked Rams improved to 6-0. 

Stokes finished the night with 145 yards on 13 carries. Brayden Smalls added 96 and the hosts totaled 356 yards on the ground.

The Rams offense was fueled by a collection of runners, two of who scored in the opening half. On their initial drive, Lafayette pounded for 70 yards on 11 rushes, headed by senior standout Smalls, who capped the sequence with a 12-yard rush, which started as a jet sweep to the right before Smalls turned up field, ran through the middle of his line and into the end zone. For the drive, Lafayette’s leading rusher tallied six carries for 42 yards, finishing with his 11th TD of the season.

Josh Simpson had the longest carry of the game for the Rams. On their next drive, at their own 26, the junior, listed as a wide receiver, took the handoff from quarterback Baum Hogge and hauled down the right sideline, outrunning the Lion defense for a 74-yard score. Lafayette managed 148 yards of rushing on 13 carries with their first two possessions and carried a 13-0 lead into halftime.

Warhill scored its lone touchdown after the offense sustained its longest drive of the night, totaling 13 plays, with freshman quarterback Devon Price sneaking the ball into the end zone from the Ram 2. Senior running back Eric Crane tallied 40 of the drive’s 51 yards with six rushes and a reception while finishing with 104 on 15 carries.
