John Peeples Dazzles in Sumter Victory

Blythewood had no answer to Peeples as he rushed for 105 yards and four touchdowns, and also picked up 37 receiving yards and a touchdown. Peeples is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last ten games he's played dating back to last season.

Spencer Bobian Turns in Season-Best Effort
Ridge View was led to victory by Spencer Bobian, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday.

Ridge View is 4-1 when Bobian posts 100 or more rushing yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
The win (which was Ridge View's fourth in a row) raised their record to 5-3. Bobian and Ridge View will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Blythewood at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st.

Howard Iii Posts Huge Game in 41-16 Victory

Howard Iii and Ridge View will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Blythewood at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st. Howard Iii will face off against Johnny Collins, the Bengals' star quarterback. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
