Booker T. Washington, the nation’s top ranked team, faced off against Norland High School on Thursday in a heavily one-sided match.
The Tornadoes came out on top form, leading 21-0 by the half. Norland was able to find the scoreboard in the second half, but the damage was already done, Washington overpowered the Vikings 41-14.
Missing their U.S. Army All-American quarterback Treon Harris due to injury, Washington relied on junior Malik Atkins to lead the way. Atkins completed 8 of 11 passes for 230 yards and three touchdowns. The backup also carried the ball six times for 65 yards and another score.
Atkins was superb, putting up a performance required to start for any top team in the country. He showed that even after Treon Harris graduates at the end of the year, Booker T will still be a force to be reckoned with.
Advancing to 9-0, Booker T. Washington retains the #1 rank in the DigitalSports National Football Rankings.
The Tornadoes now prepare for their next game at Edison on Saturday, November 2. This is their final regular season game of the year and Washington will be doing everything they can to finish at a perfect 10-0.
