The Arabia Mountain Rams improved their school record of consecutive wins to eight by taking down the Martin Luther King Jr. Lions 21-6 in a Region 4-5A meeting at Godfrey Stadium on Friday night.

Jordan Miller’s pick-six opened the scoring starting with just three minutes to play in the first half. Jayden Thomas ran for the two-point conversion to make it 8-0 for the Rams (8-1, 4-0) at the half.

Laron Jones (20 carries, 171 yards, 2 TDs) got the first of his two touchdown runs in the third quarter as Arabia upped its lead to 14-0 with 6:55 left in the period.

The Lions (2-6, 1-3) scored with 4:00 minutes left in the third quarter to cut the lead to 14-6. Arabia came right back on another Jones touchdown run to take a 21-6 lead into the fourth quarter.

Miller would add another interception in the game as well as freshman Colin Mason.

The Rams remain tied with the Tucker Tigers (6-3, 4-0), 55-6 winners over Lithonia on Thursday, atop the Region 4-5A standings setting up a showdown on Friday at Adams Stadium with kickoff set for 7:30 pm. The winner gets the No. 1 seed out of 4-5A and the loser finishes as the No. 2 seed.

Druid Hills 17, Lakeside 15

Lakeside rallied to take a 15-10 lead on touchdowns by Kyle Davis and Kelly Anthony. The Red Devils blocked on Vikings’ PAT attempt but then gave up a safety on a snap through the end zone to fall behind.

Druid Hills regained the lead before the end of the half on a Kai Robinson to Zion Johnson touchdown pass with 2:25 left in the second quarter. Bennett added the PAT to make it 17-15 at the break.
