Bruton Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Darrin Banks-Harrold
Bruton picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Darrin Banks-Harrold. Arcadia had no answer to Banks-Harrold as he made five total tackles (1.0 for loss).
This year, Banks-Harrold has averaged 5.9 total tackles per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 10.57 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 73.43 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 25.80
Bell Posts Huge Game in 53-0 Win
Ashton Bell was instrumental in extending Bruton's winning streak to seven on Friday. Arcadia had no answer to Bell as he threw for 181 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 passes.
Bell will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against York on Thursday. The last time Bell took on the Falcons, he rushed for 55 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 59 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Luke Bryant Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Luke Bryant posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Grafton over Warhill on Friday. Bryant threw for 262 yards and three touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes.
Grafton is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-6. Bryant and Grafton will take on Tabb at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Makale Barnett Makes It Two for Grafton
Another Grafton player making an appearance on this list is Makale Barnett. He picked up 67 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 62 yards. He was no stranger to the big play, lighting up the secondary with a catch that went for 55 yards.
Barnett is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Tabb on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Barnett saw the Tigers), he rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown.
