Ralph (Trey) Blakeney's Big Game Leads Hough over West Charlotte
Hough picked up their sixth consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Ralph (Trey) Blakeney. Blakeney was dynamite, throwing for 178 yards and four touchdowns, while also rushing for 47 yards. Those 47 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
On the season, Blakeney has thrown 22 touchdowns (and and only 3 picks) while averaging 221.3 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 11.14 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 26.71 rushing yards.

Zierre Brooks Delivers Best Performance of Season

He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 67 yards.
