High Point Christian Academy Gets a Boost from Moore in 41-0 Win
Jaylen Moore's big game helped extend High Point Christian Academy's winning streak to eight on Friday. Nobody could stop Moore as he rushed for 144 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.0 yards per carry. Moore is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 100 every time he's taken the field this season.
This season, Moore has run in 20 touchdowns while averaging 165.1 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 37.95
Jack Holmes' Big Game Can't Quite Lead Asheville Christian Academy over Non Varsity Opponent
Asheville Christian Academy was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Jack Holmes did his best to prevent it. Despite the defeat, Holmes was still balling out as he picked up 215 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Holmes and Asheville Christian Academy will be staying on the road on Friday to face off against SouthLake Christian Academy at 6:00 p.m. The Lions got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Eagles, probably because Holmes had a solid game then too: he picked up 63 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 36.50
Danarius Gibson and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
Danarius Gibson was instrumental in extending High Point Christian Academy's winning streak to eight on Friday. Gibson did his part (and then some), making six total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending two passes for the 'W'. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making six total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending two passes.
This year, Gibson has averaged 2 total tackles per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 38.63 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 67.38 rushing yards.
