A Season-Best Effort from Adam Schmid Leads Centennial over Reedy
On Thursday, Centennial had to settle for second even though Adam Schmid put up the best numbers he has all season. Schmid threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown, 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 50 yards.
Centennial is on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-5. Schmid and Centennial will head out to face off against McKinney North at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Hudson Eidem Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Sadly, Hudson Eidem posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Lebanon Trail over Heritage on Friday. Eidem rushed for 149 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.3 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Lebanon Trail's success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is 2-1 (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
This year, Eidem has averaged 19 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 30.14 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 91.71 rushing yards.
