A Season-Best Performance from Jeremiah Jacobs Leads Osceola over Harrisburg
On Friday, Osceola got the W thanks in part to Jeremiah Jacobs playing the best football he has all season. Jacobs rushed for 208 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 64 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The win was the fifth in a row for Osceola, bringing their record for this year to 5-1. Jacobs and Osceola will look to defend their home field on Friday against Rivercrest at 7:00 p.m.

Prechton Wilkerson Delivers Best Effort of Season
Hoxie was led to victory by Prechton Wilkerson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Wilkerson rushed for 144 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 57 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Piggott's probably not too fond of Wilkerson given he always seems to get the better of them. Wilkerson picked up 139 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 30 yards the last time he and the Mohawks duked it out back in October of 2023.
