A Season-Best Effort from Logan Inagawa Leads Starr's Mill over Central

The victory for Starr's Mill keeps them at an undefeated 7-0. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Panthers takes on Harris County at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Underclassman Jr Harris Comes Up Big Against Starr's Mill
It was an underclassman who stole the show on Friday as Jr Harris came into the match on a mission. He was unstoppable, throwing for 256 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.2 yards per attempt, and also rushing for 40 yards.
Central's loss ended an eight-game streak of away wins dating back to last season and brought them to 5-2. Harris and Central will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Harris County at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th.

Clay Came Up Big in Northside's 41-6 Win
Caden Clay posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 105 yards on only eight carries, and also threw for 133 yards and a touchdown while completing 84.6% of his passes. His passing game has become a key predictor of Northside's success: the team is undefeated when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 1-2 otherwise.
Clay and Northside will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Starr's Mill at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th. The contest will pit Clay up against the Panthers' star QB Logan Inagawa. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
