South Bend Adams' Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Carson Bryce
South Bend Adams's 14-game losing streak dating back to last season is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Carson Bryce. Bryce produced his best game of the campaign on Friday: he rushed for 169 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
South Bend Adams' first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-6. Bryce and South Bend Adams will challenge South Bend Riley at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Quincy To?Oto?O Turns in Season-Best Effort
Thanks in part to Quincy To?Oto?O, South Bend Adams said goodbye to their 14-game losing streak dating back to last season. To?Oto?O rushed for 88 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries, and also picked up 60 receiving yards, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. Those 88 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
On the year, To?Oto?O has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 46.4 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 25.86 receiving yards per game.

Big Game from Robinson As New Prairie Won 42-28
Reed Robinson put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 178 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.1 yards per carry. New Prairie is undefeated when Robinson posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
New Prairie is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Robinson and New Prairie will take on Penn at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Another Game with at Least Seven Total Tackles from Harrison Groves
Harrison Groves produced his most outstanding game to date while leading New Prairie to the win on Friday. Groves wasn't messing around, picking up two sacks and making nine total tackles (3.0 for loss). The game was his fourth straight with seven or more total tackles dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Groves could be in store for another big game when he takes on Penn on Friday. Groves forced a fumble and made 14 total tackles (1.0 for loss) the last time he and the Kingsmen duked it out back in October of 2023.
