Landon Robinson Delivers Best Performance of Season
Walhalla was led to victory by Landon Robinson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Robinson rushed for 313 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.6 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 50 yards.
This year, Robinson has run in 21 touchdowns while averaging 168 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had 11 rushing touchdowns.

Marquise Henderson Goes Supernova in Belton-Honea Path Victory
Marquise Henderson's big game helped extend Belton-Honea Path's winning streak to seven on Friday. Southside Christian had no answer to Henderson as he rushed for 192 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries. Henderson really tore up the turf during one magnificent 78-yard run.
If the past is any indication, Henderson could be in store for another big game when he takes on Palmetto on Friday. When Henderson last faced the Mustangs back in September, he rushed for 233 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 11.7 yards per carry.

Thomas Came Up Big in Belton-Honea Path's 63-20 Win
Belton-Honea Path picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Noah Thomas. Thomas was unstoppable, rushing for 54 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 130 yards and three touchdowns.
Belton-Honea Path's homestand will continue as they prepare to take on Palmetto at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The last time Thomas took on the Mustangs, he threw for 159 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 50 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
