Jaron Thomas Goes Supernova in Concord Victory
Jaron Thomas's big game helped extend Concord's winning streak to eight on Friday. Thomas was dynamite, rushing for 116 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up 0.5 sacks and making eight total tackles.
Thomas is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Plymouth on Friday. When Thomas last faced the Pilgrims/Rockies back in October of 2023, he rushed for 186 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries.
Gamescore: 47.45
While NorthWood might've come up empty on Friday, Austin King wasn't going down without a fight. King was unstoppable, forcing a fumble and making seven total tackles. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making seven total tackles.
NorthWood is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-5. King and NorthWood will challenge Goshen at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 38.78
Breveard Posts Huge Game in 44-7 Win
Char'Rese Breveard was instrumental in extending Concord's winning streak to eight on Friday. Wawasee had no answer to Breveard as he picked up 143 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Breveard showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 69 yards.
This year, Breveard has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 76.2 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 29.5 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 32.53
Derek Sherwood Delivers Best Effort of Season
Derek Sherwood produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Northridge to the win on Friday. Sherwood rushed for 113 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries.
Unfortunately for Goshen, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Sherwood. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Sherwood saw the RedHawks), he rushed for 63 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries.
Gamescore: 30.48
Karsyn Rumfelt Makes It Two for Northridge
Keeping Sherwood company is Karsyn Rumfelt, a fellow Northridge player. He rushed for six yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 135 yards and a touchdown. Northridge is undefeated when Rumfelt posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 0-5 otherwise.
For the year, Rumfelt has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 148.1 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 0.38 passing yards per game.
