Kaine Mclendon Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Albemarle had to settle for second even though Kaine McLendon put up the best numbers he has all season. McLendon rushed for 76 yards and two touchdowns.

A Season-Best Performance from Breshen Bennett Leads Union Academy over Mount Pleasant

David Wignot and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
Lake Norman Charter picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to David Wignot. Nobody could stop Wignot as he threw for 232 yards and two touchdowns while completing 81.3% of his passes. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making nine total tackles and defending a pass.
If the past is any indication, Wignot could be in store for another big game when he takes on Union Academy on Friday. Wignot threw for 269 yards and six touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes, and also rushed for 33 yards the last time he and the Cardinals duked it out back in October of 2023.

Major Leak Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Lake Norman Charter got the W thanks in part to Major Leak playing the best football he has all season. Leak picked up 156 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 69 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Leak might just drop another big game when he faces off against Union Academy on Friday. When Leak last faced the Cardinals back in October of 2023, he picked up 182 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Gamescore: 34.65
Parker Frashier Turns in Season-Best Performance

On the year, Frashier has thrown 12 touchdowns while averaging 149 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 14.1 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 121.59 passer rating.
