Davis Penn Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Southlake Carroll got the W thanks in part to Davis Penn playing the best football he has all season. Penn rushed for 136 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in December of 2023.
If the past is any indication, Penn could be in store for another big game when he takes on V.R. Eaton on Thursday. Penn rushed for 128 yards and four touchdowns on only nine carries the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in October of 2023.
