Jeremiah Jacobs Turns in Season-Best Performance
Osceola was led to victory by Jeremiah Jacobs, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday.

His longest rush was for an impressive 64 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.

A Season-Best Performance from Prechton Wilkerson Leads Hoxie over Piggott
Prechton Wilkerson produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Hoxie to the win 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. When Wilkerson last faced the Mohawks back in October of 2023, he picked up 139 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 30 yards.
