King Campbell Crosses Big Stat Threshold
King Campbell produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Cottonwood to the win on Friday.

The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (104.4).

Pittman Made His Presence Known in Providence Christian's 42-17 Win

This year, Pittman has thrown 14 touchdowns (and and only 2 picks) while averaging 119.8 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 11.63 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 80 rushing yards.
