Senior running back Hayden Wingo, who surpassed 1000 yards last week, continued to put up big numbers carrying the ball seven times for 185 yards and two touchdowns.

Chandler Benford and Logan Cooper also scored touchdowns on the ground for the Bobcats while Jayden Taylor caught a touchdown early in the second half.

Red Bay scored first on a 19-yard run to take an 8-0 lead.
