Midway Middle School remained undefeated in football with a 26-0 win over visiting Hobbton on Wednesday.

The Raiders opened the scoring with a 1-yard touchdown by Trey Gregory who finished with 167 yards rushing.

On the next possession, Casey Culbreth connected with Gregory on an 18-yard touchdown pass. Hunter Tyndall caught the 2-point conversion to put the Raiders up 14-0 at the half.

The Raiders and Wildcats swapped the ball on multiple turnovers throughout the third quarter until Aldo Lazcano Navarrete intercepted a pass for a pick six to give Midway a 20-0 lead.

After Midway got the ball back, Culbreth ran for a 28-yard touchdown to secure the 26-0 win for the Raiders. The Raider defense held Hobbton to 57 total yards with one fumble recovery and three interceptions. A.J. Elliott led the defense with six tackles and an interception.

Midway (3-0) clinched a share of the conference title and will face Sampson Middle next week. A win will give the Raiders the title outright. The game will be played at Midway High School at 4 p.m. on Wednesday (Oct. 31).
