Lathan Whisenton Delivers Best Effort of Season

The victory made it two in a row for Midway and bumps their season record up to 5-2. Whisenton and Midway will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Killeen at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th.

A Season-Best Effort from Tyrieke Wade Leads Shoemaker over Killeen
On Thursday, Shoemaker got the W thanks in part to Tyrieke Wade playing the best football he has all season. Wade threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.7 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 71 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries.
Shoemaker now has a winning record of 4-3. Wade's next contest is against Bryan on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
