Lane Chandler Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
On Friday, Mountain Heritage got the W thanks in part to Lane Chandler playing the best football he has all season.

He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 60 yards.

Mitchell Gets a Boost from Pittman in 39-28 Win
Another Mitchell player making an appearance on this list is Kaj Pittman. He rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.3 yards per carry. He is becoming a predictor of Mitchell's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 6-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
Pittman must have Draughn's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October (the last time Pittman saw the Wildcats), he rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 32 receiving yards.
