A Season-Best Performance from Josh Roberson Leads Chapel Hill over Riverside-Durham
Chapel Hill was led to victory by Josh Roberson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Roberson rushed for 133 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries.
Riverside-Durham had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Roberson it was a similar story. When Roberson last faced the Pirates back in October of 2023, he rushed for 88 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown.

Tyler Jackson Has Career-Day on Thursday
Chapel Hill was led to victory by Tyler Jackson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Jackson rushed for 164 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 71 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Jackson might just drop another big game when he faces off against Northern Durham on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Jackson saw the Knights), he rushed for 119 yards and a touchdown.

Blue Posts Huge Game in 56-0 Victory
Amareon Blue was a major factor in Jordan's victory over East Chapel Hill on Thursday. Nobody could stop Blue as he rushed for 90 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 45 receiving yards and a touchdown.
If the past is any indication, Blue could be in store for another big game when he takes on Riverside-Durham on Friday. When Blue last faced the Pirates back in October of 2023, he rushed for 154 yards and four touchdowns on only seven carries.

Jamarion Ross Goes Supernova in Riverside-Durham Defeat
Riverside-Durham was sadly handed a defeat on Thursday, but Jamarion Ross did his best to prevent it. Chapel Hill had no answer to Ross as he rushed for 155 yards on only 15 carries, and also picked up 34 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Ross will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Jordan on Friday. Ross will face off against Amareon Blue on Friday, the Falcons' star running back. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Christian Cook Makes Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is Christian Cook of Hillside. Cook rushed for 71 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries.
Hillside is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games, which provided a massive bump to their 3-4 record this season. Cook's next match is against East Chapel Hill on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
