Brayden Hough Posts Best Passer Rating Performance Since Back in November of 2024

Brayden Hough put up the most passer rating he's had since back in November of 2024 on Friday. He threw for 21 yards and one TD.

For the season, Hough has thrown those 1 touchdown (and no picks) while averaging 7 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging two rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 16 rushing yards.

Gamescore: 10.80

Madison County came out on top against William Monroe on Friday thanks in part to Justin Sloan's efforts. Sloan made his presence known, rushing for 52 yards.

Madison County's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-3. Sloan and the Mountaineers will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Harrisonburg at 7:00 p.m. on October 3.
