Willis Jr Came Up Big in Bunker Hill's 38-37 Win
Jason Willis Jr was a major factor in Bunker Hill's victory over Newton-Conover on Friday. Willis Jr did his part (and then some), picking up 113 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 58 yards and two touchdowns for the 'W'. He showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 67 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Willis Jr might just drop another big game when he faces off against Bandys on Friday. Willis Jr rushed for 280 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.2 yards per carry the last time he and the Trojans duked it out back in October of 2023.

Rashad Lynch Has Career Rushing Day
On Friday, Lincolnton got the W thanks in part to Rashad Lynch playing the best football he has all season. Lynch rushed for 88 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 176 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
