Royale Shelvy's Big Game Leads Jefferson County over Franklin County

Shelvy threw for 217 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 55 yards and a touchdown. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 55 yards.
The victory was the third in a row for Jefferson County, bringing their record for this year to 5-2. Shelvy and Jefferson County will face off against South Pike at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Cole Gipson and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Wesson picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Cole Gipson. Gipson did his part (and then some), rushing for 57 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, while also throwing for 80 yards and three touchdowns for the 'W'.
Wesson pushed their record up to 6-0 with the win, which was their fourth straight on the road. Gipson and Wesson will challenge Franklin County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Jamari Tenner Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Jefferson County got the W thanks in part to Jamari Tenner playing the best football he has all season. Tenner rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.4 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Jefferson County's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
This season, Tenner has run in 5 touchdowns while averaging 86.3 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown.
Gamescore: 32.07
