Dreandre Bruton Turns in Season-Best Effort

Morgan Posts Huge Game in 35-28 Win
Choctaw picked up their fourth consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Mayor Morgan. Stillwater had no answer to Morgan as he rushed for 129 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.6 yards per carry, and also picked up 42 receiving yards and a touchdown. Morgan is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
On the season, Morgan has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 36.3 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had seven rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 13.
