Washington was led to victory by Keondrick Melton, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Melton rushed for 227 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.7 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 69 yards.

Big Game from Able As Farmville Central Fell 25-22
Farmville Central had to settle for second on Friday, but Elijah Able sure wasn't going down easily. Greene Central had no answer to Able as he rushed for 171 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.5 yards per carry.
Able must have Greene Central's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Able saw the Rams), he rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, and also caught a touchdown.

North Pitt's defeat dropped their record down to 5-4. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Panthers challenges Farmville Central at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Famous Wilson Makes It Two for North Pitt
Another North Pitt player making an appearance on this list is Famous Wilson. He threw for 262 yards and three touchdowns.
A feisty cat fight will be fought when Panthers dukes it out withFarmville Central at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Panthers had to take a loss when they last met the Jaguars, but Wilson had little to do with the loss: he threw for 323 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
