A Season-Best Performance from Jamon Wilson Leads Highland Park over East
On Thursday, Highland Park got the W thanks in part to Jamon Wilson playing the best football he has all season. Wilson rushed for 120 yards and three touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making three total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending four passes in addition to snagging an interception.

Schlagle was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Brenaj Price did his best to prevent it. Nobody could stop Price as he picked up 33 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Schlagle has been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five games, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-5 record this season. Price and Schlagle will be playing at home against Bonner Springs at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
