Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns from Jace Roberts
Jace Roberts continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least two rushing touchdowns. He threw for 237 yards and four touchdowns on only 18 passes, and also rushed for 64 yards and two touchdowns. His passing game has become a key predictor of Union Grove's success: the team is undefeated when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 1-2 otherwise.

He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making three total tackles and defending two passes.
Ross and Big Sandy will venture away from home to face off against Elysian Fields at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Ross will face off against Alex Simmons, the Yellowjackets' star RB. Will the match be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.
