A Season-Best Performance from Dillan America Leads Grafton over Elkins
On Friday, Grafton had to settle for second even though Dillan America put up the best numbers he has all season. America picked up 166 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, connecting on a big catch that went for 65 yards.
This is the second loss in a row for Grafton and nudges their season record down to 1-5. America and Grafton will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Clay County at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.

Ethan Likens Delivers Best Performance of Season
Preston came up short on Friday despite Ethan Likens delivering his best game to date. Likens made 21 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Likens and Preston will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Bridgeport at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th. The last time Likens took on the Indians, he made 15 total tackles. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
