Tamaues Person Has Career-Day on Saturday
On Saturday, Weldon got the W thanks in part to Tamaues Person playing the best football he has all season. Person rushed for 213 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 85 yards.
On the year, Person has run in 5 touchdowns while averaging 118.8 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he was only averaging 10.4 rushing yards per game.

Xavier Hayward Delivers Electric Effort Vs North Edgecombe

Hayward might have his next game, a road matchup with Northampton County, circled on his calendar. Hayward made 16 total tackles the last time he and the Jaguars duked it out back in September of 2023.

A Season-Best Effort from Michael Dickens Leads North Edgecombe over Southeast Halifax
Sadly, Michael Dickens posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead North Edgecombe over Southeast Halifax on Friday. Dickens picked up a sack and made ten total tackles (3.0 for loss), good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making ten total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Dickens must have Southeast Halifax's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Dickens picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made ten total tackles the last time he and the Trojans duked it out back in October of 2023.
