Darius Rogers Delivers Best Performance of Season
Heights was led to victory by Darius Rogers, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Rogers rushed for 127 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 142 receiving yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 81 yards.
On the season, Rogers has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 37 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to six.

Augie Fast Goes Supernova in Northwest Victory
Northwest found a leader in Augie Fast as the team took down South on Friday. Fast turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 216 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries.
Northwest's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Fast will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Eisenhower on Friday.

Southeast's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Marcus Johnson
Thanks in part to Marcus Johnson, Southeast said goodbye to their 14-game losing streak dating back to last season. West had no answer to Johnson on Friday as he picked up three sacks and made ten total tackles (6.0 for loss).
