Wade Posts Huge Game in 34-3 Win
Lincoln County picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Mekhi Wade. Wade did his part (and then some), rushing for 81 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.

Lincoln County Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Jonathan Norman
Jonathan Norman was instrumental in extending Lincoln County's winning streak to seven on Friday.

The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 56 yards.
On the year, Norman has averaged 22.7 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to nine.
