Trip Baysinger's big game helped extend Liberty-Eylau's winning streak to three on Friday. Baysinger turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 201 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also picking up 60 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Big Game from Batton As Atlanta Won 50-0
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Markeylin Batton stepped things up a notch to give Atlanta the 'W'. Nobody could stop Batton as he rushed for 33 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown. He has become a key player for Atlanta: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Unfortunately for Sabine, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Batton. When Batton last faced the Cardinals back in October of 2023, he rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.1 yards per carry, and also picked up 104 receiving yards.
Gamescore: 41.87
Dequane Prevo Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Dequane Prevo posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He picked up 111 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 31 yards and a touchdown.
For the year, Prevo has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 115.2 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after four games last season, he was only averaging 15.75 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 37.82
Tihmyus Taylor and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Tihmyus Taylor was instrumental in extending Jefferson's winning streak to seven on Friday. Nobody could stop Taylor as he threw for 314 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Taylor must have White Oak's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Taylor saw the Roughnecks), he threw for 282 yards and five touchdowns on only 14 passes.
