Boomer Hester Turns in Season-Best Effort
Charlestown came up short on Friday despite Boomer Hester delivering his best game to date. Hester rushed for 288 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 60 yards.
Hester and Charlestown will challenge Salem at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The match will pit Hester up against the Lions' star QB Adam Mull. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.

Landon Shuck Goes Supernova in Scottsburg Win
Landon Shuck was instrumental in extending Scottsburg's winning streak to five on Friday. Nobody could stop Shuck as he rushed for 235 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 13.8 yards per carry, and also picked up 40 receiving yards. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 60 yards.
Shuck must have Mitchell's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Shuck last faced the Bluejackets back in September of 2023, he rushed for 146 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also caught a touchdown.

The win (which was Corydon Central's third in a row) raised their record to 3-4. Lawyer and Corydon Central will head out to face off against Providence at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
