A Season-Best Effort from Jadin Arrington Leads Centex Homeschool over Grace Academy
On Friday, CenTex HomeSchool had to settle for second even though Jadin Arrington put up the best numbers he has all season. Arrington rushed for 197 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 65 receiving yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 59 yards.
CenTex HomeSchool is on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-5. Arrington and CenTex HomeSchool will head out on the road to face off against Hill Country K at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Korbin Schmidt Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Saturday, Lubbock T got the W thanks in part to Korbin Schmidt playing the best football he has all season. Schmidt rushed for 230 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.5 yards per carry, and also threw for 138 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 passes. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (118). He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making six total tackles (2.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
Schmidt must have Stephenville FAITH's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Schmidt last faced the Knights back in October of 2023, he rushed for 80 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, and also caught a touchdown.
