Branson Beal Delivers Best Performance of Season
Branson Beal produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Albany to the win on Friday. Beal rushed for 144 yards and five touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also picked up 46 receiving yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 65 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.

Gamescore: 74.08

On the year, Torres has run in those 3 touchdowns while averaging 37 rushing yards per game.

Breylon Billington's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Breylon Billington posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He made six total tackles (2.0 for loss). The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 61 yards.
This season, Billington has averaged 4.9 total tackles per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 3.71 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 55.57 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 44.95
Cooper Ellison Delivers Electric Effort Vs Cross Plains
The second Miles player making an appearance here is Cooper Ellison, and for good reason. He picked up 121 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Cross Plains's probably not too fond of Ellison given he always seems to get the better of them. Ellison picked up 71 receiving yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Buffaloes duked it out back in November of 2023.

A Season-Best Performance from Chip Chambers Leads Albany over Winters
Albany was led to victory by Chip Chambers, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Chambers threw for 234 yards and three touchdowns on only 16 passes.
Chambers and Albany will be playing at home against Cross Plains at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Lions got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Buffaloes, probably because Chambers had a solid game then too: he threw for 143 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
