Kane Archer and Co. Win 19th in a Row
Greenwood picked up their 19th consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Kane Archer. Nobody could stop Archer as he threw for 393 yards and seven touchdowns while completing 77.3% of his passes.
Archer is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Lake Hamilton on Friday. When Archer last faced the Wolves back in October of 2023, he threw for 239 yards and three touchdowns while completing 90.5% of his passes, and also rushed for 50 yards and a touchdown.

Max Eldridge Turns in Season-Best Performance

Gamescore: 49.15
Griffin Mason's Big Game Leads Shiloh Christian over Southside
Another Shiloh Christian player making an appearance on this list is Griffin Mason. He rushed for 245 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 42 receiving yards. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 111 rushing yards dating back to last season.
On the year, Mason has caught 1 touchdown while averaging 27.8 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 8.33 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 185.83 rushing yards.

Barton Came Up Big in Lake Hamilton's 41-3 Victory
Lake Hamilton picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Hayden Barton. Barton was dynamite, rushing for 126 yards and three touchdowns, while also catching a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 106 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Van Buren's probably not too fond of Barton given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Barton saw the Pointers), he rushed for 188 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 11.8 yards per carry.

This season, Hanna has averaged 7.2 total tackles per game and for the season has those 1 sack. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 1.67 total tackles per game.
