Middle Creek picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Hawke Shoenfeld. Shoenfeld turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 323 yards and three touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes.
Shoenfeld must have Apex's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Shoenfeld threw for 319 yards and five touchdowns the last time he and the Cougars duked it out back in October of 2023.
