Isaiah Morgan Puts an End to Mckinley Tech's Losing Streak on Friday
McKinley Tech's three-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Isaiah Morgan. Morgan made a major impact on Friday, picking up two sacks, forcing a fumble, and making ten total tackles (3.0 for loss). Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 5.8 total tackles per game.
McKinley Tech's victory ended a five-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 2-4. Morgan and McKinley Tech will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Anacostia at 6:00 p.m. on November 1st.
Gamescore: 34.75
Devin Parks Turns in Season-Best Effort
Anacostia came up short on Saturday despite Devin Parks delivering his best game to date. Parks wasn't messing around, picking up three sacks and making 11 total tackles. The matchup was his fifth straight with two or more sacks. Anacostia is 2-1 when Parks posts two or more sacks, but 0-4 otherwise.
For the year, Parks has averaged 6.8 total tackles per game and for the season has 12 sacks.

Johnson Made His Presence Known in Mckinley Tech's 49-0 Win
Another McKinley Tech player making an appearance on this list is Andre Johnson. He threw for 120 yards and three touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
For the season, Johnson has thrown 13 touchdowns while averaging 171.2 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 47.22 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 85.02 passer rating.

Antonio Washington Rounds Out Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is Antonio Washington of Bell. Washington rushed for 97 yards and two touchdowns. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 76-yard run.
Washington is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Anacostia on Thursday. Washington rushed for 181 yards while picking up 8.6 yards per carry, and also threw for 12 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Indians duked it out back in November of 2023.
