Griffin Mason's Big Game Leads Shiloh Christian over Southside
Keeping Eldridge company is Griffin Mason, a fellow Shiloh Christian player. He rushed for 245 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 42 receiving yards.

Big Game from Barton As Lake Hamilton Won 41-3
Lake Hamilton picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Hayden Barton. Barton was dynamite, rushing for 126 yards and three touchdowns, while also catching a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 106 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Van Buren's probably not too fond of Barton given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Barton saw the Pointers), he rushed for 188 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 11.8 yards per carry.
