Kamran Williams Delivers Electric Performance Vs White Oak
Kamran Williams's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his 17th-straight game with 124+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 180 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries.
Williams must have White Oak's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Williams last faced the Roughnecks back in October of 2023, he rushed for 277 yards and five touchdowns on only 13 carries.

Liberty-Eylau Wins Third-Straight Thanks to Trip Baysinger
Trip Baysinger's big game helped extend Liberty-Eylau's winning streak to three on Friday. Gladewater had no answer to Baysinger as he threw for 201 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also picked up 60 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Liberty-Eylau's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 5-1. Baysinger and Liberty-Eylau will face off against Atlanta at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Batton Came Up Big in Atlanta's 50-0 Win
Markeylin Batton was a major factor in Atlanta's win over Sabine on Friday. Batton did his part (and then some), rushing for 33 yards and two touchdowns, while also catching a touchdown for the 'W'. He is becoming a predictor of Atlanta's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
Sabine's probably not too fond of Batton given he always seems to get the better of them. Batton rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.1 yards per carry, and also picked up 104 receiving yards the last time he and the Cardinals duked it out back in October of 2023.

Dequane Prevo Has Career-Day on Friday
Dequane Prevo posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He picked up 111 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 31 yards and a touchdown.
For the year, Prevo has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 115.2 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after four games last season, he was only averaging 15.75 receiving yards per game.

Tihmyus Taylor and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Tihmyus Taylor's big game helped extend Jefferson's winning streak to seven on Friday. Taylor was dynamite, throwing for 314 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played.
Taylor must have White Oak's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Taylor saw the Roughnecks), he threw for 282 yards and five touchdowns on only 14 passes.
