Jordan Arthur's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Houston over Mountain Grove
While Houston might've come up empty on Friday, Jordan Arthur wasn't going down without a fight. Mountain Grove had no answer to Arthur as he rushed for 89 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 73 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Houston has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four games, which put a noticeable dent in their 5-3 record this season. Arthur and Houston will welcome Liberty at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Mountain Grove Wins Fifth-Straight Thanks to Braydon Curtiss
Mountain Grove picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Braydon Curtiss. Curtiss' rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 133 rushing yards dating back to last season. He also punched in two rushing touchdowns, which is notable because Mountain Grove is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 0-3 otherwise.
Mountain Grove pushed their record up to 5-3 with the win, which was their third straight at home. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Panthers dukes it out withThayer at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Thomas Merritt Makes It Two for Ava
Another Ava player making an appearance on this list is Thomas Merritt. He made five total tackles.
For the year, Merritt has averaged 7 total tackles per game and for the season has 3 interceptions. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to seven.
