Bradley Byrd Turns in Another Game with at Least Six Total Tackles
Bradley Byrd continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 20th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least six total tackles. He produced his best game of the campaign : he picked up a sack and made 16 total tackles in addition to snagging an interception.
If the past is any indication, Byrd could be in store for another big game when he takes on Ledford on Friday. Byrd made 19 total tackles (3.0 for loss) the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in October of 2023.

Oak Grove Wins Fifth-Straight Thanks to Karson Williams
Oak Grove picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Karson Williams. Williams turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 116 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 102 rushing yards dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Williams might just drop another big game when he faces off against Ledford on Friday. Williams rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in October of 2023.

Honeycutt Came Up Big in Oak Grove's 17-0 Victory
Daniel Honeycutt was instrumental in extending Oak Grove's winning streak to five on Friday. Honeycutt did his part (and then some), picking up three sacks and making eight total tackles for the 'W'. He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made seven or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
For the season, Honeycutt has averaged 8.4 total tackles per game and for the season has 7 sacks. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 3.14 total tackles per game.
