Chris Jimerson and Ashton Searl were among the main playmakers for North Crowley as the former rushed for 138 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries and the latter rushed for 208 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.9 yards per carry. Jimerson was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 62 yards. Dekoryian West-davis also deserves a shout-out for his two touchdowns.
North Crowley's defense stepped up as well, laying out the QB four times. Dacorien Thompson was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two sacks himself.
Their wins bumped Keller to 7-3 and North Crowley to 10-0.
