In
a highly anticipated rivalry game against Cary as part of the Great American
Rivalry Series, the Cougars came out on top in their homecoming game by a score
of 40-10 last Friday. The win improves Apex’s record to 5-2 on the season.
The
game opened with Apex taking the advantage, as senior Ben Foote snagged an
interception on Cary’s first play from scrimmage, one of two he had in the game.
“It was just so quick and so intense,” Foote said about his first interception.
“On the second one I was just so happy that we had a second chance to score.”
On
offense, Apex was led by junior running back Isaiah Totten who ran for 167
yards and four touchdowns. Totten was later named the game’s MVP. “It was
definitely a great experience,” Totten said, “but I couldn’t have done it
without my team helping me along the way.”
“The
kids feel good,” said head coach Joe Kilby. “We’ve won five games and have our
eyes on the state playoffs. It feels good to win.”
