Darrin Banks-Harrold and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Darrin Banks-Harrold was instrumental in extending Bruton's winning streak to seven on Friday. Arcadia had no answer to Banks-Harrold as he made five total tackles (1.0 for loss).
This season, Banks-Harrold has averaged 5.9 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to six.

Bell Made His Presence Known in Bruton's 53-0 Win

For the season, Bell has thrown 13 touchdowns while averaging 146 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one passing touchdown.

Makale Barnett Makes It Two for Grafton
Another Grafton player making an appearance on this list is Makale Barnett. He picked up 67 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 62 yards. He was no stranger to the big play, cutting upfield on a catch that went for 55 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Barnett might just drop another big game when he faces off against Tabb on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Barnett saw the Tigers), he rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown.
