Travis Dye Puts an End to Anaconda's Losing Streak on Friday
Anaconda's seven-game losing streak dating back to last season is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Travis Dye. On Friday Dye rushed for 69 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also threw for 90 yards and a touchdown while completing 85.7% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up 0.5 sacks and made five total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Anaconda's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-5. Dye and Anaconda are taking a road trip to take on Loyola-Sacred Heart on Friday.
Gamescore: 40.00
Andrew Richardson put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in September of 2023 on Friday. He threw for 270 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 11.3 yards per attempt.
The win (which was Loyola-Sacred Heart's third in a row) raised their record to 4-3. Richardson and Loyola-Sacred Heart will look to defend their home field on Friday against Anaconda.

Stack Posts Huge Game in 33-14 Victory
Keeping Richardson company is Ethan Stack, a fellow Loyola-Sacred Heart player. He picked up 135 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 68 yards.
Thompson Falls had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Stack it was a similar story. When Stack last faced the Blue Hawks back in October of 2023, he picked up 126 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Florence-Carlton Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Mason Arlington
Mason Arlington was instrumental in extending Florence-Carlton's winning streak to six on Friday. Arlington was unstoppable, throwing for 198 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 37 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Arlington might just drop another big game when he faces off against Thompson Falls on Friday. Arlington threw for 226 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Blue Hawks duked it out back in October of 2023.
