Brock Benson Turns in Season-Best Effort
North Judson-San Pierre was led to victory by Brock Benson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Benson rushed for 208 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (113.6) per game. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in August of 2023.
If history really does repeat itself, Benson might just drop another big game when he faces off against Caston on Friday. Back in August of 2023 (the last time Benson saw the Comets), he rushed for 208 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries.

Micah Rans Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Friday, Pioneer got the W thanks in part to Micah Rans playing the best football he has all season. Rans rushed for 177 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries, and also threw for 91 yards and a touchdown on only seven passes. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (109.9). Those 177 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
The victory (which was Pioneer's fifth in a row) raised their record to 6-1. Rans and Pioneer will square off against Triton at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Lake Musall Has Career Rushing Day
North Miami was led to victory by Lake Musall, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday.

He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 93-yard run.
North Miami pushed their record up to 5-2 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home. Musall and North Miami will head out to take on Culver Community at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
