Havelock Gets a Boost from Sharpe in 21-14 Victory
Lebron Sharpe put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in November of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 148 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 49 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Sharpe must have Jacksonville's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Sharpe saw the Cardinals), he rushed for 257 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 15.1 yards per carry.
Gamescore: 36.83
Karvin Magwood Makes It Two for New Bern
The second New Bern player making an appearance here is Karvin Magwood, and for good reason. He rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, and also picked up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Unfortunately for Northside - Jacksonville, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Magwood. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Magwood saw the Monarchs), he rushed for 84 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also picked up 31 receiving yards and a touchdown.

This season, Holley has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 85.4 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 50.86 receiving yards per game.
