Jadin Arrington Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sadly, Jadin Arrington posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead CenTex HomeSchool over Grace Academy on Friday. Arrington rushed for 197 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 65 receiving yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 59 yards.
CenTex HomeSchool is on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-5. Arrington and CenTex HomeSchool will head out to face off against Hill Country K at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Korbin Schmidt Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Lubbock T was led to victory by Korbin Schmidt, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Saturday. Schmidt rushed for 230 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.5 yards per carry, and also threw for 138 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 passes. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (118). He didn't just play on offense: he also made six total tackles (2.0 for loss) and defended a pass.
Unfortunately for Stephenville FAITH, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Schmidt. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Schmidt saw the Knights), he rushed for 80 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, and also caught a touchdown.
