Talan Collins Delivers Electric Effort Vs Union
Talan Collins's big game helped extend Rosewood's winning streak to three on Friday. Collins did his part (and then some), picking up 98 receiving yards and three touchdowns for the 'W'. Rosewood is undefeated when Collins posts two or more receiving touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Rosewood's win bumped their record up to 5-3. Collins and Rosewood will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against North Duplin at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.

Dontavius Smith Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Lakewood had to settle for second even though Dontavius Smith put up the best numbers he has all season. Smith picked up 114 receiving yards and three touchdowns. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 73 yards.
Lakewood's loss ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 5-3. Smith's next matchup is against Hobbton on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.
