A Season-Best Performance from Mason Jewell Leads Surry Central over West Wilkes
On Friday, Surry Central got the W thanks in part to Mason Jewell playing the best football he has all season.

He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 74 yards.

Fisher Leftwich Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Fisher Leftwich produced his most outstanding game to date while leading North Surry to the win on Friday. Leftwich picked up 184 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 34 yards and two touchdowns. He's now once again averaging 100+ receiving yards (101.6) per game. He is trending in the right direction considering he's improved his point production for three straight games.
Unfortunately for North Wilkes, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Leftwich. Leftwich picked up 134 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Vikings duked it out back in September of 2023.
