Phoenix Murphy Delivers Best Effort of Season
Norman was led to victory by Phoenix Murphy, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Murphy rushed for 69 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, and also threw for 297 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 11.4 yards per attempt.
This year, Murphy has thrown 19 touchdowns while averaging 269.4 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging six rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 43.86 rushing yards.

A Season-Best Performance from Crew Noles Leads Norman over Moore
Norman was led to victory by Crew Noles, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Noles picked up 155 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 33 yards and a touchdown.
This season, Noles has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 69.6 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to four.

Malikai Miller Dazzles in Moore Loss
Moore was sadly handed a defeat on Thursday, but Malikai Miller did his best to prevent it. Miller was dynamite, throwing for 259 yards and a touchdown on only 19 passes, while also rushing for 106 yards. Moore is 3-1 when Miller posts 80 or more rushing yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
Miller must have Norman's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Miller saw the Tigers), he rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 165 yards and two touchdowns.

This season, Williams has run in 8 touchdowns while averaging 40.3 rushing yards per game.
