Phoenix Murphy Turns in Season-Best Effort

A Season-Best Effort from Crew Noles Leads Norman over Moore
Norman was led to victory by Crew Noles, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Noles picked up 155 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 33 yards and a touchdown.
This year, Noles has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 69.6 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to four.

Malikai Miller Goes Supernova in Moore Defeat
While Moore might've come up empty on Thursday, Malikai Miller wasn't going down without a fight. Miller turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 259 yards and a touchdown on only 19 passes, while also rushing for 106 yards. He is becoming a predictor of Moore's success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is 3-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
Norman had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Miller it was a similar story. When Miller last faced the Tigers back in September of 2023, he rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 165 yards and two touchdowns.

Jaeden Williams Makes It Two for Moore
