Fairfield's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Connor Fowler
Thanks in part to Connor Fowler, Fairfield said goodbye to their three-game losing streak. Pretty Prairie had no answer to Fowler on Friday as he rushed for 159 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also threw for 57 yards and a touchdown. Fowler's longest rush was for an impressive 51 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.

Nathan Reed and Co. Win Fifth in a Row
Nathan Reed was instrumental in extending Central Christian's winning streak to five on Friday. Nobody could stop Reed as he threw for 176 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 32 yards and a touchdown. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up a sack and making ten total tackles.
For the year, Reed has thrown 16 touchdowns (and and only 3 picks) while averaging 160.8 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 7.17 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 33 rushing yards.
