Red Cloud Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Gage Ely
Red Cloud picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Gage Ely. Ely turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 157 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.2 yards per carry. He didn't just play on offense: he also made four total tackles and defended two passes.
This year, Ely has averaged 25.7 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to 14.
Gamescore: 43.95
Harvard had to settle for second on Friday, but Cohen Reutzel sure wasn't going down easily. Meridian had no answer to Reutzel as he picked up 28 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Harvard is on an 11-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-6. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Cardinals challenges Lewiston at 3:00 p.m. on Friday.

For the year, Englehart has averaged 17.8 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 11.
