Jack Holmes Goes Supernova in Asheville Christian Academy Defeat
While Jack Holmes delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Asheville Christian Academy. Nobody could stop Holmes as he picked up 215 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Asheville Christian Academy's road trip will continue as they head out to face SouthLake Christian Academy at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. The Lions got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Eagles, probably because Holmes had a solid game then too: he picked up 63 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 36.50
Danarius Gibson and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
Danarius Gibson was instrumental in extending High Point Christian Academy's winning streak to eight on Friday. Hickory Grove Christian had no answer to Gibson as he made six total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended two passes.
