Tate Surber Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, McKenzie got the W thanks in part to Tate Surber playing the best football he has all season. Surber rushed for 95 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also threw for 234 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.7 yards per attempt.
The victory for McKenzie keeps them at an undefeated 9-0. Surber and McKenzie are on the road again on Friday to play West Carroll at 7:00 p.m.

McEwen's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 6-3. Ross will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Houston County on Friday.
