Hillcrest Comes Up Short Despite Huge Game from Underclassman K'von Houston
Underclassman K'Von Houston came into Wednesday's matchup looking to prove himself and that's exactly what he did. Nobody could stop he on Wednesday as he threw for 291 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, and also rushed for 50 yards.
This year, Houston has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 143 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after nine games last season, he was only averaging 15 passing yards per game.

Conner Whitehead Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Wednesday, Murray got the W thanks in part to Conner Whitehead playing the best football he has all season. Whitehead rushed for 70 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He has become a key player for Murray: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 3-4 otherwise.
This season, Whitehead has averaged 13.7 receiving yards per game.

Stansbury Gets a Boost from Dearden in 56-21 Win
Coleman Dearden was instrumental in extending Stansbury's winning streak to three on Wednesday. Dearden did his part (and then some), throwing for 195 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 passes for the 'W'.
Tooele had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Dearden it was a similar story. When Dearden last faced the Buffaloes back in October of 2023, he threw for 288 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 40 yards.

This season, Syphus has averaged 21.1 receiving yards per game.
