Malikai Miller Dazzles in Moore Defeat
While Moore might've come up empty on Thursday, Malikai Miller wasn't going down without a fight. Miller turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 259 yards and a touchdown on only 19 passes, while also rushing for 106 yards. He has become a key player for Moore: the team is 3-1 when he posts at least 80 rushing yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
Norman's probably not too fond of Miller given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Miller saw the Tigers), he rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 165 yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 31.77
Jaeden Williams Makes It Two for Moore
Keeping Miller company is Jaeden Williams, a fellow Moore player. He rushed for six yards and two touchdowns.
For the year, Williams has run in 8 touchdowns while averaging 40.3 rushing yards per game.
