Gray's Creek Gets a Boost from Reed in 28-24 Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Ezekiel Reed stepped things up a notch to give Gray's Creek the 'W'. Reed turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 221 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry.
Lumberton had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Reed it was a similar story. When Reed last faced the Pirates back in October of 2023, he rushed for 155 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.2 yards per carry.

Deandre Nance's big game helped extend Seventy-First's winning streak to seven on Friday. Nance was excellent, rushing for 113 yards on only 11 carries, while also throwing for 151 yards and a touchdown on only 12 passes. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (100.1) per game.
