Ke'mari Mcneil Drops League-Best Effort on Friday

Quintell Mcneill Turns in Season-Best Effort
St. Pauls was led to victory by Quintell Mcneill, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Mcneill rushed for 147 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 56 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
St. Pauls pushed their record up to 4-2 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. Mcneill and St. Pauls will face off against Red Springs at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Blue Posts Huge Game in 45-28 Victory
The second Midway player making an appearance here is Gehemiah Blue, and for good reason. He made eight total tackles (1.0 for loss).
On the season, Blue has averaged 5.5 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to six.

Jakelsin Mack Delivers Electric Performance Vs Fairmont
Jakelsin Mack helped snap Red Springs's six-game losing streak dating back to last season. Fairmont had no answer to Mack on Friday as he rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also picked up 33 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Fairmont's probably not too fond of Mack given he always seems to get the better of them. When Mack last faced the Golden Tornadoes back in October of 2023, he rushed for 147 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries.
