Langston Hughes Faces Mays in Friday Night Clash at Lakewood Stadium

ATLANTA, Ga. — Friday night lights return to Lakewood Stadium as the Mays Raiders host the Langston Hughes Panthers in a highly anticipated non-conference matchup. Kickoff is set for 5:30 p.m. on August 22, 2025.

Langston Hughes (1-0) enters the contest riding high after a strong season-opening performance. Ranked No. 61 nationally and No. 7 in Georgia, the Panthers showcased their offensive firepower last week, putting up 46 points while allowing just 21 in their road victory.

Mays (0-1), meanwhile, is looking to bounce back after a tough 24-0 loss in their opener. The Raiders, ranked No. 957 nationally, will rely on their defense and home-field advantage as they attempt to slow down a Panthers squad averaging 46 points per game.

The matchup provides an early-season test for both programs: Langston Hughes aims to maintain its momentum and cement itself among the state’s elite, while Mays seeks to regroup and defend its home turf under the Friday night lights.
