Groeneweg Made His Presence Known in Glen Rose's 56-6 Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Josiah Groeneweg stepped things up a notch to give Glen Rose the 'W'. Hillsboro had no answer to Groeneweg as he rushed for 202 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.6 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown. Groeneweg showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 61 yards.
If the past is any indication, Groeneweg could be in store for another big game when he takes on Venus on Friday. Groeneweg picked up 212 receiving yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Bulldogs duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 48.63
Canyon Evans Makes It Two for Glen Rose
Keeping Groeneweg company is Canyon Evans, a fellow Glen Rose player. He threw for 231 yards and five touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
Evans might have his next game, a home matchup with Venus, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Evans saw the Bulldogs), he threw for 379 yards and six touchdowns on only 19 passes.

Adam Pempsell Turns in Season-Best Effort
Godley came up short on Friday despite Adam Pempsell delivering his best game to date. Pempsell rushed for 122 yards and three touchdowns.
Pempsell and Godley will be playing at home against Dunbar at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Pempsell will face off against Kamron Lloyd, Dunbar's star rusher. Will the contest be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Brennan Barton Goes Supernova in Benbrook Victory
Brennan Barton's big game helped extend Benbrook's winning streak to seven on Friday. Barton turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 211 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 59 yards. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Godley's probably not too fond of Barton given he always seems to get the better of them. Barton threw for 254 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.5 yards per attempt the last time he and the Wildcats duked it out back in November of 2023.
