Central Comes Up Short Despite Huge Game from Underclassman Jr Harris
Underclassman Jr Harris came into Friday's match looking to prove himself and that's exactly what he did. Despite the defeat, he was still balling out as he threw for 256 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.2 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 40 yards.
Central's loss ended an eight-game streak of away wins dating back to last season and brought them to 5-2. Harris and Central will get a bit of extra time to process the defeat as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Harris County at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th.

Clay Posts Huge Game in 41-6 Win
Caden Clay posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 105 yards on only eight carries, and also threw for 133 yards and a touchdown while completing 84.6% of his passes. His passing game has become a key predictor of Northside's success: the team is undefeated when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 1-2 otherwise.
This year, Clay has thrown 3 touchdowns while averaging 124.5 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after four games last season, he was only averaging 61.75 passing yards per game.
