Community Christian Gets a Boost from Yelverton in 41-31 Loss
Hayden Yelverton continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 11th-straight game with at least two rushing touchdowns. He rushed for 112 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries.
On the season, Yelverton has averaged 21.9 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 79.8 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 145.64 rushing yards.

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Isaac Kelly stepped things up a notch to give West Texas T the 'W'. Kelly turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 92 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries, while also picking up 33 receiving yards and a touchdown.
West Texas T has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six games, which provided a nice bump to their 5-4 record this season. Their road trip will continue as they head out to face Jubilee at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Jones Bryce and Co. Win Third in a Row

Warren Strickland Makes It Two for West Texas T
The second West Texas T player making an appearance here is Warren Strickland, and for good reason. He rushed for 86 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, and also picked up 71 receiving yards and a touchdown.
