Lee Posts Huge Game in 28-27 Victory
Jeremiah Lee's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his third-straight game with 141+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 188 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.0 yards per carry. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 65 yards.
Indianapolis Cardinal Ritter had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Lee it was a similar story. When Lee last faced the Raiders back in September of 2023, he rushed for 155 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.7 yards per carry.

Ezekiel Omole Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Speedway got the W thanks in part to Ezekiel Omole playing the best football he has all season. Omole wasn't messing around, picking up two sacks, forcing a fumble, and making eight total tackles (5.0 for loss). The matchup was his fourth straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season. He is becoming a predictor of Speedway's success: when he posts at least two sacks the team is undefeated (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
This year, Omole has averaged 5.6 total tackles per game and for the season has 4 sacks.
Gamescore: 31.00
Indianapolis Scecina Memorial had to settle for second on Friday, but Eric Montgomery sure wasn't going down easily. Montgomery was dynamite, rushing for five yards.
Indianapolis Scecina Memorial and Indianapolis Cardinal Ritter are set to duel on Friday. Montgomery will face off against Tavien Fox, the Raiders' star rusher. Will the matchup be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Noah Bryant Makes Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is Noah Bryant of Monrovia. Bryant's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 123 rushing yards. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 74-yard run.
The loss snapped Monrovia's losing streak at four games and leaves them with a 5-2 record. Bryant and Monrovia will challenge Covenant Christian at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
