A Season-Best Performance from DAVID PARSON Leads Union Grove over Ola
Sadly, DAVID PARSON posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Union Grove over Ola on Thursday. PARSON wasn't messing around, picking up three sacks, forcing a fumble, and making 17 total tackles (5.0 for loss). The game was his eighth straight with five or more total tackles.
Union Grove is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-5. PARSON and Union Grove have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Locust Grove at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Cayden Hutson Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Ola was led to victory by Cayden Hutson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Hutson rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Ola's victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 7-1. Hutson and Ola are on the road again on Friday to play Hampton at 7:30 p.m.
Gamescore: 39.65
On Thursday, Ola got the W thanks in part to Caden Worley playing the best football he has all season. Worley threw for 176 yards and a touchdown on only 16 passes, and also rushed for 55 yards on only six carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
On the year, Worley has thrown 4 touchdowns while averaging 99.4 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 8.13 passing yards per game.
