Josiah Daniel Delivers Best Effort of Season
Josiah Daniel produced his most outstanding game to date while leading J.F. Webb to the win on Friday. Daniel rushed for 265 yards and a touchdown while picking up 15.6 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making five total tackles (2.0 for loss).
The win snapped J.F. Webb's losing streak at nine games dating back to last season and leaves them with a 1-7 record. They and South Granville are set to duel on Friday.

Jamar Hicks Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
South Granville was led to victory by Jamar Hicks, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Hicks rushed for 152 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.6 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now rushed for 107 or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Hicks is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against J.F. Webb on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Hicks saw the Warriors), he rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries.
