Kamran Williams' Big Game Leads Jefferson over White Oak
Kamran Williams continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 17th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 124 rushing yards. He rushed for 180 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries.
White Oak's probably not too fond of Williams given he always seems to get the better of them. When Williams last faced the Roughnecks back in October of 2023, he rushed for 277 yards and five touchdowns on only 13 carries.

Trip Baysinger and Co. Win Third in a Row
Trip Baysinger was instrumental in extending Liberty-Eylau's winning streak to three on Friday. Nobody could stop Baysinger as he threw for 201 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also picked up 60 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Liberty-Eylau pushed their record up to 5-1 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. Baysinger and Liberty-Eylau will take on Atlanta at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Big Game from Batton As Atlanta Won 50-0
Atlanta found a leader in Markeylin Batton as the squad took down Sabine on Friday. Batton was unstoppable, rushing for 33 yards and two touchdowns, while also catching a touchdown. He has become a key player for Atlanta: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Unfortunately for Sabine, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Batton. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Batton saw the Cardinals), he rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.1 yards per carry, and also picked up 104 receiving yards.
Gamescore: 41.87
Dequane Prevo's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Dequane Prevo posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He picked up 111 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 31 yards and a touchdown.
For the season, Prevo has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 115.2 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 15.75 receiving yards per game.

Tihmyus Taylor Delivers Electric Performance Vs White Oak
Jefferson picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Tihmyus Taylor. Taylor turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 314 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Taylor must have White Oak's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Taylor saw the Roughnecks), he threw for 282 yards and five touchdowns on only 14 passes.
