Khy Harris Delivers Best Performance of Season
Centennial was led to victory by Khy Harris, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Harris rushed for 141 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 59 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 59 yards.
Harris and Centennial will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Las Vegas at 6:00 p.m. on October 24th. The match will pit Harris up against the Wildcats' star rusher Mackey Aldred. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Ashton Hunt Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Centennial was led to victory by Ashton Hunt, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Hunt threw for 371 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.0 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 35 yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Centennial's success: when he posts at least three passing touchdowns the team is 3-1 (and 0-4 when he doesn't).
Hunt and Centennial will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Las Vegas at 6:00 p.m. on October 24th. The match will pit Hunt up against the Wildcats' star QB Tanner Vibabul. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.
