Kaison Phillips' Big Game Can't Quite Lead Ledford over Montgomery Central
While Ledford might've come up empty on Friday, Kaison Phillips wasn't going down without a fight. Nobody could stop Phillips as he threw for 255 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 55 yards and a touchdown. Ledford is 2-1 when Phillips posts three or more passing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Ledford now has a losing record at 3-4. Phillips and Ledford will venture away from home to square off against Oak Grove at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Seth Wiley Makes It Two for Ledford
Keeping Phillips company is Seth Wiley, a fellow Ledford player. He picked up 171 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 81 yards.
For the season, Wiley has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 74 receiving yards per game.

Asheboro was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but QUINCEY LEE did his best to prevent it. LEE was unstoppable, rushing for 46 yards and two touchdowns.

Bradley Byrd Turns in Another Game with at Least Six Total Tackles
Bradley Byrd continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 20th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least six total tackles. He picked up a sack and made 16 total tackles in addition to snagging an interception, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long.
Byrd might have his next game, a road matchup with Ledford, circled on his calendar. Byrd made 19 total tackles (3.0 for loss) the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in October of 2023.
