C.B. Aycock Wins Eighth-Straight Thanks to Caleb Frederick
Caleb Frederick's big game helped extend C.B. Aycock's winning streak to eight on Thursday. Frederick was dynamite, rushing for 75 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, while also catching a touchdown.
If history really does repeat itself, Frederick might just drop another big game when he faces off against Smithfield-Selma on Thursday. Frederick rushed for 87 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 52 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Spartans duked it out back in October of 2023.
