Mercer Hudson Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sadly, Mercer Hudson posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Brookstone over Westfield School on Friday. Hudson picked up five sacks and made 14 total tackles.

This season, Osborne has thrown 4 touchdowns while averaging 106.9 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after ten games last season, he was only averaging 20.13 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 60.07 passer rating.
