Stephenson Gets a Boost from Johnson in 45-6 Win
Jayden Johnson's big game helped extend Stephenson's winning streak to three on Friday. Johnson was dynamite, rushing for 102 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries. Stephenson is 4-1 when Johnson posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
This year, Johnson has run in 7 touchdowns while averaging 122.4 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 0.71 rushing yards per game.

Marte Barton Makes It Two for Stephenson
Keeping Johnson company is Marte Barton, a fellow Stephenson player. He rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 133 yards and a touchdown while completing 75% of his passes.
A feisty cat fight will be fought when Jaguars challenges Luella at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The last time Barton took on the Lions, he threw for 123 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
