Jacobs Jr Came Up Big in Chiles' 42-0 Victory
Thanks in part to Taylor Jacobs Jr, Chiles said goodbye to their five-game losing streak. North Bay Haven Academy had no answer to Jacobs Jr on Thursday as he threw for 135 yards and four touchdowns while completing 92.9% of his passes.
Jacobs Jr and Chiles will challenge Leon at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Timberwolves got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Lions, probably because Jacobs Jr had a solid game then too: he rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, and also threw for 124 yards on six of 18 attempts. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

This year, Sims Jr. has thrown 14 touchdowns while averaging 126.2 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he had seven passing touchdowns.

A Season-Best Performance from Gavin James Leads Lincoln over Niceville
Sadly, Gavin James posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Lincoln over Niceville on Friday. James wasn't messing around, making 16 total tackles. The contest was his third straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
This season, James has averaged 7.1 total tackles per game.

Tyler Howard Has Career Rushing Day
Tyler Howard posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He made five total tackles.
Unfortunately for Niceville, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Howard. Howard made nine total tackles (1.0 for loss) and snagged two interceptions the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in September of 2023.
