A Season-Best Performance from Jeremiah Foster Leads Globe over ALA - Anthem South
Globe was led to victory by Jeremiah Foster, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Foster rushed for 59 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made six total tackles (4.0 for loss).
The victory made it two in a row for Globe and bumps their season record up to 3-5. Foster and Globe will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Alchesay at 7:00 p.m. on October 24th.

Jaeger Franco Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
On Friday, Globe got the W thanks in part to Jaeger Franco playing the best football he has all season. Franco rushed for 76 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 168 yards and two touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He has become a key player for Globe: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-4 otherwise.
For the season, Franco has thrown 3 touchdowns while averaging 72.5 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 16.25 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 26.88 rushing yards.

Sam Winters Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sadly, Sam Winters posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead St. Johns over Miami on Friday. Winters picked up 127 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 75 yards. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 71 yards.
St. Johns now has a losing record at 3-4. Winters' next game is against Chinle on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Deray Mathis Delivers Best Performance of Season
Deray Mathis produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Miami to the win on Friday. Mathis picked up 174 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Mathis and Miami will take on San Carlos at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Mathis will face off against Anson Kinney, the Braves' star WR. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.

For the year, Castaneda has thrown 14 touchdowns while averaging 213.9 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 50.43 passing yards per game.
