  "account": "On Saturday, August 30, IMG Academy dismantled Cornerstone Christian (Tex.) with a dominant 59-10 victory. The Ascenders scored on each possession of the first half, amassing 52 points while defending strongly against the Warriors' offense. After just two plays, Jayden Wade from Georgia carried 78 yards for a touchdown, followed by Cayden Gould's 3-yard rushing score, and then a 37-yard carry for a 21-0 lead. Head coach Greg Studrawa emphasized the importance of starting strong, stating that fast starts lead to positive results. Running back Gould was exceptional, catching a crucial big catch from Eric McFarland III that opened up the second quarter and finishing with nearly 90 rushing yards on nine carries. Quarterback Wade made three passing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown, finishing the game 8-of-11 in the air. Other key contributors included Osani Gayles, Eric Whitfield, and McFarland III, who each had a touchdown reception. The Ascenders dominated on the defensive side as well, with four players registering a tackle for loss in the first half and forcing Cornerstone Christian to work outside their primary defense. The defense showcased significant improvement compared to the previous season, controlling the line of scrimmage and creating turnovers. With this convincing win, IMG Academy advances to 2-0, outscoring opponents 118-13, and will face St. Louis from Hawaii (0-2) next week.",
