A Season-Best Performance from Maalik Moore Leads Fort Wayne North Side over Fort Wayne Wayne
On Friday, Fort Wayne North Side got the W thanks in part to Maalik Moore playing the best football he has all season. Moore picked up 141 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Fort Wayne North Side's success: when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
This season, Moore has caught 8 touchdowns while averaging 63.1 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he had two receiving touchdowns.

Tristen Newsome Dazzles in Fort Wayne North Side Win
Keeping Moore company is Tristen Newsome, a fellow Fort Wayne North Side player. He threw for 242 yards and three touchdowns while completing 76.9% of his passes, and also rushed for 34 yards and a touchdown.
For the season, Newsome has thrown 13 touchdowns while averaging 142 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 12.48 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 104.59 passer rating.
