Halls' success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Brody Rogers led the charge by picking up 133 receiving yards and a pair of TDs, while also punching in one rushing score. Rogers didn't just play on offense: he also made four total tackles and defended two passes in addition to snagging two interceptions. McKylus Daniel was in the mix too, providing Halls with two touchdowns.

Another reason for the win was Halls' imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Gavin Self, Dom Culp, and Gavin Cantrell, who each picked up one sack apiece. Halls got some further help from Carson Pearce: he forced one fumble and made ten total tackles (1.0 for loss).

When it comes to explaining why Clinton lost, don't look at Cam Anderson. Despite the final result, he rushed for 145 yards and one score on only nine carries. Anderson's longest rush was for an impressive 66 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. The team also got some help courtesy of Bryson Maddox, who picked up 104 receiving yards and one TD.

Halls is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matchups. That's provided a massive bump to their 5-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 41.2 points over those games. As for Clinton, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 2-7.

Coming up, Halls will challenge Tennessee at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Vikings' defense has only allowed 15 points per game this season, so the Red Devils' offense will have their work cut out for them. Clinton does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
