Ryan Campbell Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
On Friday, Fort Dorchester got the W thanks in part to Ryan Campbell playing the best football he has all season. Campbell rushed for 249 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.2 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Fort Dorchester's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
Fort Dorchester pushed their record up to 4-3 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season. They and James Island are set to duel on Friday.

A Season-Best Effort from Trevor Kalisz Leads Ashley Ridge over Stall
Ashley Ridge was led to victory by Trevor Kalisz, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Kalisz threw for 201 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 passes.
Stall's probably not too fond of Kalisz given he always seems to get the better of them. When Kalisz last faced the Warriors back in October of 2023, he threw for 251 yards and five touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes.
