Grant Stupak Delivers Best Effort of Season
Grant Stupak produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Ludlowe to the win on Friday. Stupak threw for 385 yards and six touchdowns while completing 86.2% of his passes, and also rushed for 66 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.

The matchup was his fourth straight with three or more passing touchdowns.

Jermel Bynum Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
McMahon came up short on Friday despite Jermel Bynum delivering his best game to date.
