Big Game from Groeneweg As Glen Rose Won 56-6
Josiah Groeneweg was a major factor in Glen Rose's win over Hillsboro on Friday. Hillsboro had no answer to Groeneweg as he rushed for 202 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.6 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown. Groeneweg showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 61 yards.
Groeneweg might have his next game, a home matchup with Venus, circled on his calendar. Groeneweg picked up 212 receiving yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Bulldogs duked it out back in October of 2023.

Canyon Evans Makes It Two for Glen Rose
Another Glen Rose player making an appearance on this list is Canyon Evans. He threw for 231 yards and five touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
Evans is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Venus on Friday. Evans threw for 379 yards and six touchdowns on only 19 passes the last time he and the Bulldogs duked it out back in October of 2023.

Adam Pempsell Delivers Best Effort of Season
Sadly, Adam Pempsell posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Godley over Benbrook on Friday. Pempsell rushed for 122 yards and three touchdowns.
Pempsell's next match is against Dunbar on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance. Pempsell will face off against Kamron Lloyd on Friday, Dunbar's star running back. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Brennan Barton's Big Game Leads Benbrook over Godley
Benbrook picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Brennan Barton. Nobody could stop Barton as he threw for 211 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 59 yards. Those 59 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Godley had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Barton it was a similar story. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Barton saw the Wildcats), he threw for 254 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.5 yards per attempt.
