Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Colin McMurray stepped things up a notch to give Vernon Hills the 'W'. McMurray was unstoppable, rushing for 148 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries, while also throwing for 80 yards and a pair of TDs. He has become a key player for Vernon Hills: the team is undefeated when he posts at least 80 rushing yards, but 0-4 otherwise.

Looking ahead, McMurray and Vernon Hills will square off against Maine West at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Cougars have some work to do to even out the 1-7 series between these two since September of 2016, but a win here would be a good start.
