Harrison is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 101 every time he's taken the field this season.

With the victory, North Mesquite broke their three-game losing streak and moved their record to 2-5. Cardona will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Molina on Thursday.

Creekview Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Isaiah Holliday
Isaiah Holliday was instrumental in extending Creekview's winning streak to seven on Friday. Turner had no answer to Holliday as he made six total tackles.
