Kerwin Squire Jr. Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Kerwin Squire Jr. produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Stratford to the win on Friday. Squire Jr. rushed for 191 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.0 yards per carry. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (108.3) per game.

Ballard Posts Huge Game in 42-38 Defeat
Lucy Beckham was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Chalmers Ballard did his best to prevent it. Despite the defeat, Ballard was still balling out as he rushed for 85 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 283 yards and two touchdowns while completing 73.7% of his passes. He is becoming a predictor of Lucy Beckham's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 3-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
On the season, Ballard has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 173.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to nine.

Jachin Davis' Big Game Leads Stratford over Lucy Beckham
Another Stratford player making an appearance on this list is Jachin Davis. He rushed for 59 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 261 yards while completing 75% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
This year, Davis has averaged 182.4 passing yards per game.
