A punishing defense and opportunistic offense powered Houston Academy to a 52-0 victory over Northside Methodist Academy at Rip Hewes Stadium on Thursday night.
It marked the first ever football meeting between the two schools and was dominated by the Raiders, who improved to 7-0 overall, 5-0 in Class 3A, Region 2, while the Knights fell to 2-5 overall, 0-5 in the region.

That’s the biggest thing – they believe they can stop most teams. After forcing NMA to a three-and-out on the first series of the game, Houston Academy scored on its first offensive play when Kadyn Mitchell connected with Will Wells on a 29-yard throw and catch. Lucius Renshaw added the extra point kick and the rout was on.
The Raiders made it 21-0 after Mitchell found Rod Jackson way behind the secondary for a 30-yard scoring toss and Renshaw added the PAT early in the second quarter. Mitchell was unofficially 8-of-13 passing in the first half for 167 yards and four touchdowns. Daughtry rushed for 98 yards on 14 carries in the first half. Neither played in the second half.
“This scheme on both offense and defense allows us to attack people and hit them in their weaknesses and take advantage of situations.”
