Fredericktown Gets a Boost from Sipes in 39-14 Victory
Fredericktown found a leader in Blake Sipes as the team took down Loudonville on Friday. Sipes was dynamite, rushing for 194 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.8 yards per carry.

Cyren Wallace Turns in Season-Best Effort
Danville was led to victory by Cyren Wallace, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Wallace rushed for 102 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 53 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Danville is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matches, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Wallace and Danville will be playing in front of their home fans against Centerburg at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
