Gavin Black Delivers Best Effort of Season
Gavin Black produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Permian to the win on Friday.

Chase Campbell Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Frenship was led to victory by Chase Campbell, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Campbell picked up 68 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 58 yards.
The victory was the fifth in a row for Frenship, bringing their record for this year to 5-1. Campbell and Frenship are taking a road trip to challenge Midland Legacy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Stroman Bridges' Big Game Can't Quite Lead Midland over Frenship
Keeping McCoy company is Stroman Bridges, a fellow Midland player. He rushed for 116 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries, and also threw for 31 yards and a touchdown.
Unfortunately for Frenship, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Bridges. Bridges rushed for 209 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries the last time he and the Tigers duked it out back in October of 2023.
