A Season-Best Performance from Kaleb Fox Leads Marshfield over Ashland
Kaleb Fox produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Marshfield to the win on Friday. Fox rushed for 159 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 65 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The win snapped Marshfield's losing streak at six games dating back to last season and leaves them with a 1-5 record. Fox and Marshfield will be playing at home against Hidden Valley at 7:15 p.m. on Friday.

Lucas Folau Puts an End to Marshfield's Losing Streak on Friday
Thanks in part to Lucas Folau, Marshfield said goodbye to their six-game losing streak dating back to last season. Ashland had no answer to Folau on Friday as he picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made seven total tackles. Folau is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made six or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
Ashland had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Folau it was a similar story. Folau picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made five total tackles the last time he and the Grizzlies duked it out back in October of 2023.

For the season, Van Gastel has thrown 6 touchdowns while averaging 80.5 passing yards per game.
