Ty Whoric Makes It Two for Southmoreland
Keeping Premus company is Ty Whoric, a fellow Southmoreland player. He picked up 45 receiving yards.
This season, Whoric has averaged 21.2 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.11 receiving yards per game.

Yough Gets a Boost from Shaffer in 37-8 Defeat
Yough was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Aidan Shaffer did his best to prevent it. Despite the loss, Shaffer was still balling out as he picked up 96 receiving yards and a touchdown. He was no stranger to the big play, connecting on a big catch that went for 65 yards.
Shaffer and Yough will host Derry at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Shaffer will face off against Damauri Robinson, the Trojans' star pass catcher. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.
