Huzefa Ullah's Big Game Leads Ray over Mccollum
Ray came out on top against McCollum on Thursday thanks in part to Huzefa Ullah's efforts. The Cowboys had no answer to Ullah as he picked up 77 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
For the year, Ullah has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 69.2 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after four games last season, he was only averaging 6.75 receiving yards per game.

Big Game from Thompson As Ray Won 21-7
Another Ray player making an appearance on this list is Tripp Thompson. He threw for 166 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 48 yards. He has been hot recently, having posted three or more passing touchdowns the last three times he's played.
Coming up, Thompson and Ray will square off against Ingleside at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Texans had to take a loss when they last met the Mustangs, but Thompson had little to do with the loss: he threw for 215 yards on 15 of 26 attempts, and also rushed for 51 yards on only six carries. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Jaycen Elmore Makes It Three for Ray
Another Ray player making an appearance on this list is Jaycen Elmore. He picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss). He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made six or more in each of the last eight games he's played dating back to last season.
For the year, Elmore has averaged 11 total tackles per game and for the season has those 1 sack. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 4.25 total tackles per game.
