Read game report
Wayne Christian earned its second shutout of the season with a 42–0 home win over South Wake Christian Athletics on Sept. 21, 2026.
Jamari Hill carried 14 times for 127 yards and two touchdowns. Urban Johnson completed three of five passes for 53 yards and a touchdown. Josiah Mcfarland was credited with two catches for 28 yards and a touchdown in the posted receiving line.
Hill’s two rushing touchdowns matched his total in the previous listed game, the 30–22 win over GRACE Christian. His 127 yards followed a 215-yard rushing performance in that game, giving him 342 rushing yards across those two reported game lines.
Wayne Christian’s listed record moved to 4–1. The Eagles had outscored those five opponents 162–64, and this result joined the 41–0 win over Bear Grass Charter as a shutout. The available box score does not break down Wayne Christian’s points by quarter, so no scoring sequence is assigned.
The next listed game was a Sept. 25 road trip to American Leadership Academy-Johnston.
