Greenwood Wins 19th-Straight Thanks to Kane Archer
Kane Archer's big game helped extend Greenwood's winning streak to 19 on Friday. Nobody could stop Archer as he threw for 393 yards and seven touchdowns while completing 77.3% of his passes.
Archer might have his next game, a road matchup with Lake Hamilton, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Archer saw the Wolves), he threw for 239 yards and three touchdowns while completing 90.5% of his passes, and also rushed for 50 yards and a touchdown.

A Season-Best Effort from Max Eldridge Leads Shiloh Christian over Southside
On Friday, Shiloh Christian got the W thanks in part to Max Eldridge playing the best football he has all season. Eldridge rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
For the year, Eldridge has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 34.8 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 49.15
Griffin Mason's Big Game Leads Shiloh Christian over Southside
Keeping Eldridge company is Griffin Mason, a fellow Shiloh Christian player. He rushed for 245 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 42 receiving yards. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 111 rushing yards dating back to last season.
On the year, Mason has caught 1 touchdown while averaging 27.8 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 8.33 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 185.83 rushing yards.

Barton Posts Huge Game in 41-3 Victory
Hayden Barton's big game helped extend Lake Hamilton's winning streak to five on Friday. Nobody could stop Barton as he rushed for 126 yards and three touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 106 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Barton must have Van Buren's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Barton rushed for 188 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 11.8 yards per carry the last time he and the Pointers duked it out back in September of 2023.
