Jayvin Thompson Puts an End to Harrisburg's Losing Streak on Friday
Thanks in part to Jayvin Thompson, Harrisburg said goodbye to their 14-game losing streak dating back to last season. Thompson rushed for 148 yards and four touchdowns on only nine carries, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 84 yards.
Harrisburg's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-4. Thompson and Harrisburg will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Osceola at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.

Newport's defeat ended a five-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 4-1. Barker and Newport will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Manila at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.
