Kaine Mclendon Turns in Season-Best Effort
Albemarle came up short on Friday despite Kaine McLendon delivering his best game to date. McLendon rushed for 76 yards and two touchdowns.

Gamescore: 56.55
Breshen Bennett Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Union Academy had to settle for second even though Breshen Bennett put up the best numbers he has all season. Bennett picked up 117 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
On the year, Bennett has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 48.1 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 48.62
David Wignot and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
Lake Norman Charter picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to David Wignot. Wignot turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 232 yards and two touchdowns while completing 81.3% of his passes. He didn't just play on offense: he also made nine total tackles and defended a pass.
Wignot is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Union Academy on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Wignot saw the Cardinals), he threw for 269 yards and six touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes, and also rushed for 33 yards.

A Season-Best Performance from Major Leak Leads Lake Norman Charter over North Stanly
Lake Norman Charter was led to victory by Major Leak, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Leak picked up 156 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, connecting on a big catch for 69 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Leak might just drop another big game when he faces off against Union Academy on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Leak saw the Cardinals), he picked up 182 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Gamescore: 34.65
Parker Frashier Turns in Season-Best Effort
