Cash Matlack Has Career-Day on Thursday
On Thursday, Sulphur got the W thanks in part to Cash Matlack playing the best football he has all season. Matlack rushed for 137 yards and two 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 victory was the sixth in a row for Sulphur, bringing their record for this year to 6-1. Matlack and Sulphur will challenge Seminole at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
