Gavin Paul Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Sadly, Gavin Paul posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Middletown over East Pennsboro on Saturday. Paul rushed for 166 yards and two touchdowns. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (101). Those 166 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Middletown is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-5. Paul's next matchup is against Big Spring on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
