Jack Bradley Has Career-Day on Saturday
On Saturday, Archmere Academy got the W thanks in part to Jack Bradley playing the best football he has all season. Bradley rushed for 107 yards and two touchdowns 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 50 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the season, Bradley has averaged 10.4 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 39.23
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Amir Maddrey stepped things up a notch to give Howard the 'W'. Maddrey was dynamite, picking up a sack and making three total tackles.
Maddrey might have his next game, a home matchup with Newark, circled on his calendar. When Maddrey last faced the Yellowjackets back in October of 2023, he made 13 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
