Sentell has been a key target, collecting 100 receiving yards on eight catches. On the ground, Finley and junior D. Edwards have combined for 119 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
LaFayette’s defense has allowed 28 points per game and 228.5 total yards per contest. While they have yet to record a sack, their plus-one turnover margin indicates a disciplined and opportunistic defense that could capitalize on Dade County’s mistakes.
With both teams hungry for their first win, tonight’s game in LaFayette will be a test of wills. The Wolverines’ ground game will face off against the Ramblers’ aerial attack, and the outcome may hinge on which team can better execute their game plan.
