A Season-Best Effort from Robbie O'connor Leads Millville over Cherokee
On Friday, Millville got the W thanks in part to Robbie O'Connor playing the best football he has all season. O'Connor threw for 246 yards and four touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes.
Millville's win was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-1. O'Connor and Millville will head out to take on St. Augustine Prep at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.

Jalen Parker's Big Game Leads Winslow Township over Mainland Regional
Jalen Parker was instrumental in extending Winslow Township's winning streak to eight on Friday. Mainland Regional had no answer to Parker as he threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.3 yards per attempt. Parker is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
Parker and Winslow Township will welcome Cherokee at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Eagles had to take a loss when they last met the Chiefs, but Parker had little to do with the loss: he threw for 243 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
