NORTH AUGUSTA – In a season filled with lopsided victories, the North Augusta Yellow Jackets put up another one Friday 36-6 over the May River Sharks of Bluffton.

An explosive offensive effort led by QB Corey Tillman and running back Mike Doe combined with a strong defense that shut down May River gave the Jackets their 11th victory of the year.

The Jackets will take on the Gilbert Indians on Nov. 29. Gilbert defeated Bishop England 36-30 on Friday. The winner of that game will head to the state semifinals on Dec. 6.
