Ryan Meredith Delivers Best Effort of Season
Ryan Meredith produced his most outstanding game to date while leading North Miami to the win on Friday. Meredith rushed for 85 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries, and also picked up 53 receiving yards and a touchdown. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 56 yards.

Brock Benson Has Career Rushing Day
North Judson-San Pierre was led to victory by Brock Benson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Benson rushed for 222 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
Caston's probably not too fond of Benson given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in August of 2023 (the last time Benson saw the Comets), he rushed for 208 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries.

North Judson-San Pierre Gets a Boost from Wilcox in 69-3 Victory
North Judson-San Pierre picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Kole Wilcox. Wilcox was unstoppable, rushing for 139 yards and four touchdowns on only six carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 55 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Caston had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Wilcox it was a similar story. When Wilcox last faced the Comets back in August of 2023, he rushed for 48 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Big Game from Rans As Pioneer Fell 28-21
While Pioneer might've come up empty on Friday, Micah Rans wasn't going down without a fight. Despite the defeat, Rans was still balling out as he rushed for 153 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also threw for 59 yards and a touchdown while completing 75% of his passes. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 83-yard run.
With the loss, Pioneer broke their five-game winning streak and moved their record to 6-2. Rans and Pioneer will challenge North Judson-San Pierre at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.

Lake Musall Delivers Electric Effort Vs Culver Community
The second North Miami player making an appearance here is Lake Musall, and for good reason. He rushed for 140 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making five total tackles and defending a pass.
For the year, Musall has run in 7 touchdowns while averaging 74.6 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he had four rushing touchdowns.
