Carson Bryce Puts an End to South Bend Adams' Losing Streak on Friday
South Bend Adams's 14-game losing streak dating back to last season is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Carson Bryce. Bryce rushed for 169 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. Those 169 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
South Bend Adams' first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-6. Bryce and South Bend Adams will challenge South Bend Riley at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Effort from Quincy To?Oto?O Leads South Bend Adams over South Bend Washington
South Bend Adams's 14-game losing streak dating back to last season is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Quincy To?Oto?O. To?Oto?O produced his best game of the campaign on Friday: he rushed for 88 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries, and also picked up 60 receiving yards. Those 88 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
This season, To?Oto?O has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 46.4 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 25.86 receiving yards per game.

Robinson Posts Huge Game in 42-28 Win
Reed Robinson put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 178 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.1 yards per carry. He has become a key player for New Prairie: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
New Prairie has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Robinson and New Prairie will be playing at home against Penn on Friday.

Another Game with at Least Seven Total Tackles from Harrison Groves
On Friday, New Prairie got the W thanks in part to Harrison Groves playing the best football he has all season. Groves wasn't messing around, picking up two sacks and making nine total tackles (3.0 for loss). The match was his fourth straight with seven or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Groves might have his next game, a home matchup with Penn, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Groves saw the Kingsmen), he forced a fumble and made 14 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
