Gray's Creek Gets a Boost from Reed in 28-24 Victory
Ezekiel Reed was a major factor in Gray's Creek's victory over Lumberton on Friday. Lumberton had no answer to Reed as he rushed for 221 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry.
Unfortunately for Lumberton, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Reed. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Reed saw the Pirates), he rushed for 155 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.2 yards per carry.

Seventy-First Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Donavan Frederick
Seventy-First picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Donavan Frederick. Frederick was dynamite, rushing for 65 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries.
Seventy-First pushed their record up to 7-0 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. Frederick and Seventy-First will look to defend their home field on Friday against Purnell Swett at 7:30 p.m.

Deandre Nance Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Deandre Nance's big game helped extend Seventy-First's winning streak to seven on Friday. Nance showed up in a big way, rushing for 113 yards on only 11 carries, while also throwing for 151 yards and a touchdown on only 12 passes. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (100.1) per game.
If the past is any indication, Nance could be in store for another big game when he takes on Purnell Swett on Friday. When Nance last faced the Rams back in October of 2023, he rushed for 73 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries, and also threw for 65 yards and a touchdown.
