Birdwell Posts Huge Game in 46-23 Loss
Kingfisher was sadly handed a defeat on Thursday, but Jhett Birdwell did his best to prevent it. Heritage Hall had no answer to Birdwell as he threw for 318 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 15.1 yards per attempt.
On the season, Birdwell has thrown 15 touchdowns while averaging 229.5 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 26.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 55.67 rushing yards.

A Season-Best Performance from Jordan Mcclain Jr Leads North Rock Creek over Pauls Valley

For the season, Mcclain Jr has averaged 7 total tackles per game and for the season has those 1 sack.

While Star-Spencer might've come up empty on Thursday, Travion Barber Ii wasn't going down without a fight. Despite the loss, Barber Ii was still balling out as he rushed for 146 yards while picking up 7.7 yards per carry. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 51 yards.
