Jones Posts Huge Game in 58-0 Victory
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Hunter Jones stepped things up a notch to give Holliday the 'W'. Nobody could stop Jones as he threw for 287 yards and six touchdowns while completing 82.4% of his passes.
This season, Jones has thrown 27 touchdowns while averaging 265.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 21.94 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 122.01 passer rating.

Luis Balderama Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Jacksboro was led to victory by Luis Balderama, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Balderama rushed for 164 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Jacksboro's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
This year, Balderama has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 71.4 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 30.29 rushing yards per game.
