Elijah Able Goes Supernova in Farmville Central Loss
Farmville Central had to settle for second on Friday, but Elijah Able sure wasn't going down easily. Despite the defeat, Able was still balling out as he rushed for 173 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.7 yards per carry. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 62 yards.
If the past is any indication, Able could be in store for another big game when he takes on Greene Central on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Able saw the Rams), he rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, and also caught a touchdown.
