A Season-Best Effort from Augie Fast Leads Northwest over West
Northwest was led to victory by Augie Fast, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Fast's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 154 rushing yards. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 59 yards.
The win for Northwest keeps them at an undefeated 5-0. Fast and Northwest will head out to take on Manhattan at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Mason Made His Presence Known in Northwest's 60-14 Win
Northwest picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jaylen Mason. Mason turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 340 yards and four touchdowns while completing 81.3% of his passes, and also punching in a touchdown on the ground.
West's probably not too fond of Mason given he always seems to get the better of them. When Mason last faced the Pioneers back in October of 2023, he threw for 280 yards and five touchdowns while completing 86.7% of his passes.
Gamescore: 44.37
Darius Rogers Has Career Rushing Day
Sadly, Darius Rogers posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Heights over Bishop Carroll on Friday. Rogers rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 67 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
On the year, Rogers has averaged 23.4 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to two.

Northwest Wins Fifth-Straight Thanks to Chase Carter
Chase Carter was instrumental in extending Northwest's winning streak to five on Friday. Carter turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 130 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, connecting on a big catch that went for 67 yards.
On the season, Carter has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 62.2 receiving yards per game.

Zane Masterson Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Heights had to settle for second even though Zane Masterson put up the best numbers he has all season. Masterson rushed for 65 yards and a touchdown on only five carries, and also threw for 114 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
On the season, Masterson has thrown 3 touchdowns while averaging 93.8 passing yards per game.
