Keaton Jones Turns in Season-Best Performance
Pendleton Heights was led to victory by Keaton Jones, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Jones rushed for 235 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.4 yards per carry, and also picked up 35 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 78-yard run.

Joliba Brogan II and Co. Win Fourth in a Row
Joliba Brogan II's big game helped extend Mt. Vernon's winning streak to four on Friday. Brogan II's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 118 rushing yards.
The win got Mt. Vernon back to even at 4-4. Brogan II and Mt. Vernon will challenge Yorktown at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 52.70
Cooper Hinton Delivers Best Performance of Season
Greenfield-Central was led to victory by Cooper Hinton, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Hinton picked up three sacks and made ten total tackles.
If the past is any indication, Hinton could be in store for another big game when he takes on New Castle on Friday. Hinton picked up a sack, made seven total tackles (3.0 for loss), and defended two passes the last time he and the Trojans duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 47.07
Big Game from Ranes As New Palestine Won 44-6
Josh Ranes was instrumental in extending New Palestine's winning streak to six on Friday. Ranes was unstoppable, rushing for 137 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.1 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his seventh straight game with at least 119 rushing yards dating back to last season.
New Palestine pushed their record up to 7-0-1 with the victory, which was their fifth straight on the road. Ranes and New Palestine will square off against Delta at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Dallas Freeman Dazzles in Greenfield-Central Victory
The second Greenfield-Central player making an appearance here is Dallas Freeman, and for good reason. He rushed for 67 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 166 yards and two touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes.
If history really does repeat itself, Freeman might just drop another big game when he faces off against New Castle on Friday. When Freeman last faced the Trojans back in October of 2023, he rushed for 134 yards and a touchdown on only five carries, and also threw for 154 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes.
