A Season-Best Performance from Mason Pickett-Hicks Leads South Pointe over York
Mason Pickett-Hicks produced his most outstanding game to date while leading South Pointe to the win on Friday. Pickett-Hicks rushed for 239 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 64 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.

Willie Smith Delivers Best Performance of Season
Sadly, Willie Smith posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Dreher over Lancaster on Friday. Smith made 14 total tackles (1.0 for loss). He also punched in three rushing touchdowns, which is notable because Dreher is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Dreher now has a losing record at 3-4. Smith will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against A.C. Flora on Friday.
Gamescore: 54.42
Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles from Azel Banag
A.C. Flora was led to victory by Azel Banag, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Banag wasn't messing around, forcing two fumbles, making 11 total tackles, and defending three passes in addition to snagging an interception. The game was his fourth straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
A.C. Flora's victory was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-2. Banag and A.C. Flora will welcome Dreher at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
