Anthony Henderson Jr.'s Big Game Leads Bruton over Arcadia
Anthony Henderson Jr.'s big game helped extend Bruton's winning streak to seven on Friday. Nobody could stop Henderson Jr. as he picked up 111 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 75 yards.
Bruton's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 7-0. Henderson Jr. and Bruton will face off against York at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Darrin Banks-Harrold and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Bruton picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Darrin Banks-Harrold. Banks-Harrold was unstoppable, making five total tackles (1.0 for loss).
On the year, Banks-Harrold has averaged 5.9 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to six.
Gamescore: 25.80
Big Game from Bell As Bruton Won 53-0
Ashton Bell's big game helped extend Bruton's winning streak to seven on Friday. Bell did his part (and then some), throwing for 181 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 passes for the 'W'.
This year, Bell has thrown 13 touchdowns while averaging 146 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one passing touchdown.

Luke Bryant Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Luke Bryant posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Grafton over Warhill on Friday. Bryant threw for 262 yards and three touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes.
Grafton is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-6. Bryant and Grafton will host Tabb at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Makale Barnett Makes It Two for Grafton
Keeping Bryant company is Makale Barnett, a fellow Grafton player. He picked up 67 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 62 yards. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 55 yards.
Barnett is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Tabb on Friday. Barnett rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Tigers duked it out back in October of 2023.
