Richfield Wins 23rd-Straight Thanks to Gage Yardley

Richfield's victory was their ninth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 10-0. Yardley and Richfield will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Juan Diego Catholic at 6:00 p.m. on November 1st.

Brock Richards Turns in Another Game with at Least 110 Rushing Yards
Brock Richards's big game helped extend Juab's winning streak to four on Thursday. Richards' rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 110 rushing yards. He also punched in four rushing touchdowns, which is notable because Juab is 5-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Juab's victory bumped their record up to 6-4. Richards and Juab will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Manti at 6:00 p.m. on November 1st.

Maison Starkweather Makes Top Five
