Cotten Made His Presence Known in ALA - West Foothills' 28-0 Victory
ALA - West Foothills picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Hunter Cotten. Cotten was unstoppable, picking up a sack and making ten total tackles (3.0 for loss). The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
This season, Cotten has averaged 10.4 total tackles per game and for the season has 4 sacks. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to two.

A Season-Best Performance from Avion Bailey Leads Dysart over Page
On Friday, Dysart got the W thanks in part to Avion Bailey playing the best football he has all season. Bailey rushed for 54 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 54 receiving yards. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in August.
Page's probably not too fond of Bailey given he always seems to get the better of them. When Bailey last faced the Sand Devils back in October of 2023, he picked up 159 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
Gamescore: 37.43
Noah Ramirez and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Noah Ramirez's big game helped extend Dysart's winning streak to six on Friday. Ramirez was dynamite, making 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Page had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Ramirez it was a similar story. When Ramirez last faced the Sand Devils back in October of 2023, he made five total tackles.
