Quincy To?Oto?O Delivers Best Performance of Season
South Bend Adams's 14-game losing streak dating back to last season is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Quincy To?Oto?O. To?Oto?O produced his best game of the campaign on Friday: he rushed for 88 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries, and also picked up 60 receiving yards. Those 88 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
This season, To?Oto?O has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 46.4 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 25.86 receiving yards per game.

Big Game from Robinson As New Prairie Won 42-28
Reed Robinson put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 178 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.1 yards per carry. He has become a key player for New Prairie: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
New Prairie has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Robinson and New Prairie will challenge Penn at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Another Game with at Least Seven Total Tackles from Harrison Groves
Harrison Groves produced his most outstanding game to date while leading New Prairie to the win on Friday. Groves wasn't messing around, picking up two sacks and making nine total tackles (3.0 for loss). The matchup was his fourth straight with seven or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Groves is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Penn on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Groves saw the Kingsmen), he forced a fumble and made 14 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
