Hoopes Came Up Big in Farmington's 28-20 Win
Farmington picked up their third consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Travis Hoopes. Davis had no answer to Hoopes as he rushed for 145 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry. Hoopes has become a key player for Farmington: the team is 3-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-4 otherwise.
Farmington is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests, which provided a nice bump to their 4-5 record this season. Hoopes and Farmington will take on Fremont at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday.

Owen Simkins Turns in Season-Best Performance

The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 70 yards.
The win (which was Fremont's seventh in a row) raised their record to 7-2. Simkins and Fremont will venture away from home to take on Farmington at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday.

Another Game with at Least 101 Receiving Yards from Bode Sparrow
Bode Sparrow's receiving tear continued on Thursday as he dropped his third-straight game with 101+ receiving yards dating back to last season. He picked up 109 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
