Casey Midcap Dazzles in Wray Victory
Another Wray player making an appearance on this list is Casey Midcap. He rushed for 74 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 106 yards and three touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes.
Midcap must have Holyoke's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Midcap saw the Dragons), he rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 62 yards and two touchdowns.

The defeat snapped Yuma's losing streak at three games and leaves them with a 3-2 record. Thomson and Yuma will challenge Wiggins at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Effort from Weston Schaal Leads Burlington over Yuma
Burlington was led to victory by Weston Schaal, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Schaal rushed for 82 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, and also threw for 53 yards and a touchdown on only five passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
For the season, Schaal has thrown 4 touchdowns while averaging 64.8 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging one rushing yard per game. This year he is averaging 20.8 rushing yards.
