Walkertown Benefited from Curry in 27-21 Victory
Another Walkertown player making an appearance on this list is Mitrend Curry. He rushed for 79 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 124 receiving yards. His receiving production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 100 receiving yards dating back to last season.
Curry and Walkertown will venture away from home to take on North Davidson at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The Wolfpack had to take a loss when they last met the Black Knights, but Curry had little to do with the loss: he rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
