Dionne Sims Tops All Others This Week

King now has a winning record of 4-3. Sims and King will challenge Kingwood at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Marquez Xavion Ziair Davis Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Kingwood had to settle for second even though Marquez Xavion Ziair Davis put up the best numbers he has all season. Xavion Ziair Davis wasn't messing around, rushing for 201 yards and three touchdowns, while also catching a touchdown. The matchup was his third straight with two or more rushing touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 50 yards.
For the year, Xavion Ziair Davis has run in 13 touchdowns while averaging 144.7 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 54.45
Summer Creek Gets a Boost from Thomas in 81-6 Victory
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Blake Thomas stepped things up a notch to give Summer Creek the 'W'. Nobody could stop Thomas as he threw for 246 yards and four touchdowns while completing 89.5% of his passes, and also rushed for 43 yards.
Thomas and Summer Creek will look to defend their home field on Saturday against Humble at 1:00 p.m. The Bulldogs got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Wildcats, probably because Thomas had a solid game then too: he threw for 196 yards and three touchdowns, and also punched in a rushing score. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Javienx Mouton Makes It Two for King

For the season, Mouton has averaged 7.7 total tackles per game.

A Season-Best Effort from Dominick Toulon Leads King over Humble
King was led to victory by Dominick Toulon, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Toulon picked up two sacks and made seven total tackles (3.0 for loss). King is 3-1 when Toulon posts two or more sacks, but 1-2 otherwise.
Toulon might have his next game, a road matchup with Kingwood, circled on his calendar. When Toulon last faced the Mustangs back in October of 2023, he picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made 11 total tackles (5.0 for loss).
