Jayshon Stegall Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, East Coweta had to settle for second even though Jayshon Stegall put up the best numbers he has all season. Stegall rushed for 188 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.0 yards per carry, and also picked up 36 receiving yards. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 75-yard run.
East Coweta now has a losing record at 3-4. Stegall and East Coweta will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Carrollton at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th.

Travis Smith Jr Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Sadly, Travis Smith Jr posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Westlake over Carrollton on Friday. Smith Jr picked up 259 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He's now once again averaging 100+ receiving yards (121.3) per game. He is becoming a predictor of Westlake's success: when he posts at least 80 receiving yards the team is undefeated (and 0-4 when he doesn't).
Westlake dropped their record down to 3-4 with the loss, which was their fourth straight on the road dating back to last season. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Lions challenges Douglas County at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
