A Season-Best Performance from Ben Brown Leads Wesleyan over Mount Vernon

On Friday, Wesleyan got the W thanks in part to Ben Brown playing the best football he has all season. Brown rushed for 156 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries, and also threw for 165 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.

Wesleyan pushed their record up to 6-1 with the win, which was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season. Brown and Wesleyan will head out to take on King's Ridge Christian at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Andrew Overton Delivers Electric Performance Vs Walker

Andrew Overton was a major factor in Mount Paran Christian's victory over Walker on Friday.

Overton and Mount Paran Christian will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Business Engineering Science Tech at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th. The contest will pit Overton up against Business Engineering Science Tech's star signal caller Alexander Barrett. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game.
