Jah Sheppard Crosses Big Stat Threshold

The victory (which was Martin County's fifth in a row) raised their record to 5-1. Sheppard and Martin County will face off against Washington County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Perquimans Gets a Boost from Knapp in 46-12 Victory
Braylon Knapp was a major factor in Perquimans's win over Washington County on Friday. Nobody could stop Knapp as he threw for 287 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 13.0 yards per attempt.
Knapp must have Washington County's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Knapp last faced the Panthers back in September of 2023, he threw for 425 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.1% of his passes.

Kamerin Mcdowell-Moore Turns in Another Game with at Least 105 Rushing Yards
Kamerin Mcdowell-Moore continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 105 rushing yards. He rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns.
Bertie's probably not too fond of Mcdowell-Moore given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Mcdowell-Moore saw the Falcons), he picked up 51 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 49 yards and a touchdown.

Big Game from Moore As Martin County Won 25-0
Kel'Javious Moore was instrumental in extending Martin County's winning streak to five on Friday. Moore turned in nothing short of a gem, making 15 total tackles (2.0 for loss) and snagged an interception. He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made nine or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
Gates County had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Moore it was a similar story. When Moore last faced the Red Barons back in September of 2023, he made 17 total tackles.
