Kaden Chester Turns in Season-Best Performance

Tre?Shaun Jones' Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Tre?Shaun Jones produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Worth County to the win on Friday. Jones rushed for 186 yards and a touchdown while picking up 10.3 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.

Mason Kicklighter posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. As a matter of fact, he produced his best game of the campaign : he rushed for 105 yards. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 64 yards.
Brantley County is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-7. Kicklighter will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Bacon County on Friday.

Worth County Gets a Boost from Worthy in 62-17 Win
Another Worth County player making an appearance on this list is Lyndon Worthy. He threw for 210 yards and three touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes.
Jeff Davis's probably not too fond of Worthy given he always seems to get the better of them. Worthy threw for 272 yards and four touchdowns while completing 95.5% of his passes the last time he and the Yellowjackets duked it out back in October of 2023.
