The Week 11 Game of the Week consisted of a showdown between arch- rivals Warhill and Lafayette with the Bay Rivers District title up for grabs. It was a packed stadium Friday Night at Wanner Stadium for the highly anticipated matchup as the Lafayette Rams sought revenge after a 14-7 deficit last year.
On Friday, Jaylen Pretlow carried the Rams to the 49-7 victory. His two touchdowns on the night put him at 52 in the Rams past 20 games. Demarcus Lawrence also contributed with three touchdown runs of his own.
