A Season-Best Performance from Ramon Rodriguez Leads Strathmore over Granite Hills
On Friday, Strathmore got the W thanks in part to Ramon Rodriguez playing the best football he has all season. Rodriguez rushed for 105 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in December of 2023.
Strathmore pushed their record up to 6-2 with the victory, which was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season. Rodriguez and Strathmore will take on Corcoran at 7:15 p.m. on Friday.

Jose Fernandez Turns in Another Game with at Least Six Total Tackles
On Friday, Lindsay had to settle for second even though Jose Fernandez put up the best numbers he has all season. Fernandez wasn't messing around, picking up two sacks and making 15 total tackles (5.0 for loss). The match was his sixth straight with six or more total tackles.
Fernandez might have his next game, a home matchup with Granite Hills, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Fernandez saw the Grizzlies), he picked up two sacks and made three total tackles (2.5 for loss).

Ethan Cortes Makes It Two for Lindsay
Keeping Fernandez company is Ethan Cortes, a fellow Lindsay player. He rushed for 116 yards. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making seven total tackles (2.5 for loss) and defending a pass.
On the season, Cortes has averaged 62.1 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 27.88 rushing yards per game.
