Avier Elvira Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Friday, Palmer Ridge got the W thanks in part to Avier Elvira playing the best football he has all season. Elvira rushed for 219 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.4 yards per carry. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (102.3) per game. His longest rush was for an incredible 80 yards.
Palmer Ridge's victory was their ninth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Elvira and Palmer Ridge will be playing in front of their home fans against Vista Ridge at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Camden Bruns Delivers Best Effort of Season
Sadly, Camden Bruns posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Rampart over Vista Ridge on Friday. Bruns forced a fumble and made 16 total tackles.
Bruns must have Vista Ridge's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Bruns picked up 0.5 sacks, forced a fumble, and made 11 total tackles (5.0 for loss) the last time he and the Wolves duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 32.35
Jackson Schmadeka was a major factor in Air Academy's win over Liberty on Thursday. Schmadeka turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 57 yards and a touchdown.
For the season, Schmadeka has averaged 25.9 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 5.71 receiving yards per game.
