Unfortunately for Irvington Preparatory Academy, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Ullom. Ullom picked up 55 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 37 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the duked it out back in October of 2023.

North Decatur Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Corbin Thackery
Corbin Thackery's big game helped extend North Decatur's winning streak to six on Friday. Edinburgh had no answer to Thackery as he rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries. Thackery is trending in the right direction considering he's improved his point production for three straight games.
Edinburgh's probably not too fond of Thackery given he always seems to get the better of them. When Thackery last faced the Lancers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 81 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries.
