Another Game with at Least Seven Total Tackles from Hugh Manning
Hugh Manning continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his fifth-straight game with at least seven total tackles. He forced three fumbles and made 16 total tackles (6.0 for loss).
A.C. Flora has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Manning will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Richland Northeast on Friday.
Gamescore: 43.50
Things weren't looking good for Dreher heading into Friday's tilt with Richland Northeast(they were ranked 66 places lower in South Carolina), but Willie Smith wasn't phased. Smith turned in nothing short of a gem on Friday, making 11 total tackles. He also punched in two rushing touchdowns, which is notable because Dreher is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
The victory got Dreher back to even at 3-3. Smith and Dreher are taking a road trip to face off against Lancaster at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 41.55
Brandon Mack Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, A.C. Flora got the W thanks in part to Brandon Mack playing the best football he has all season. Mack rushed for 143 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also picked up 30 receiving yards.
For the season, Mack has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 93.7 rushing yards per game.
