Nolan Herpstreith continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his fourth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 100 rushing yards. He rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown.

Caleb Bauer Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Sadly, Caleb Bauer posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Nokomis over Arthur-Lovington/Atwood-Hammond on Friday. Bauer picked up two sacks and made 11 total tackles. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 5.7 total tackles per game.

Sullivan-Okaw Valley/Bethany Gets a Boost from Fryman in 13-10 Win
Aian Fryman was instrumental in extending Sullivan-Okaw Valley/Bethany's winning streak to six on Friday. Fryman was unstoppable, rushing for 145 yards. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 139 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Sangamon Valley/Tri-City's probably not too fond of Fryman given he always seems to get the better of them. Fryman rushed for 88 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 34 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Storm duked it out back in September of 2023.
