Strong Rock Christian was led to victory by Landon Stancil, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Stancil picked up 159 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 112 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 94 yards.
Stancil and Strong Rock Christian will square off against Brookstone at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The last time Stancil took on the Cougars, he picked up 111 receiving yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Darnelle Hamilton Has Career Rushing Day
Sadly, Darnelle Hamilton posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Calvary Christian over Strong Rock Christian on Friday. Hamilton picked up a sack and made 25 total tackles (5.0 for loss), good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This year, Hamilton has averaged 10.2 total tackles per game and for the season has those 1 sack.
Gamescore: 47.55
Mercer Hudson Delivers Best Performance of Season
Sadly, Mercer Hudson posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Brookstone over Westfield School on Friday. Hudson picked up five sacks and made 14 total tackles. He is becoming a predictor of Brookstone's success: when he posts at least two sacks the team is undefeated (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
With the defeat, Brookstone broke their four-game winning streak and moved their record to 5-3. Hudson will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Strong Rock Christian on Friday.
Gamescore: 45.93
Calvary Christian came up short on Friday despite Nate Osborne delivering his best game to date. Osborne threw for 268 yards and a touchdown, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This year, Osborne has thrown 4 touchdowns while averaging 106.9 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after ten games last season, he was only averaging 19.6 passing yards per game.
