Jordin Thomas Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Jordin Thomas helped snap Lincoln's three-game losing streak. Thomas was excellent on Friday, rushing for 139 yards and three touchdowns. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (101). Lincoln is 2-1 when Thomas posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-4 otherwise.
Thomas might have his next game, a home matchup with Lodi, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Thomas saw the Flames), he rushed for 220 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.2 yards per carry, and also picked up 38 receiving yards.

Kenneth Moore Iii's Big Game Leads St. Mary's over Edison
Kenneth Moore Iii put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in August on Friday. He picked up 111 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 79 yards on only five carries. He really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 77 yards.
The win was the fourth in a row for St. Mary, bringing their record for this year to 6-2. Moore Iii and St. Mary's will venture away from home to square off against Tracy at 7:15 p.m. on Friday.

Big Game from Mckenzie As Edison Fell 35-23
While Edison might've come up empty on Friday, Amarion Mckenzie wasn't going down without a fight. Nobody could stop Mckenzie as he rushed for 71 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, and also picked up 30 receiving yards. His longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
This year, Mckenzie has run in 3 touchdowns while averaging 64.6 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown.
