Big Game from Price As Ponder Won 36-26

Price threw for 204 yards and three touchdowns on only 19 passes, and also rushed for 92 yards and a touchdown on only six carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble, made nine total tackles, and defended a pass.

Carson Schoppa Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Vernon got the W thanks in part to Carson Schoppa playing the best football he has all season. Schoppa rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
Vernon has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matches, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Schoppa and Vernon will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Bowie at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.

Boyd is on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-5. Parks and Boyd will take on Bowie on Friday.
