Greyson Brewer Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Southwestern had to settle for second even though Greyson Brewer put up the best numbers he has all season. Brewer picked up 105 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 56 yards.
This season, Brewer has caught those 1 touchdown while averaging 23.7 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 4.86 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 48.71 rushing yards.

Cayden Durbin Has Career-Day on Friday

Durbin rushed for 76 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making nine total tackles.

Cash Lynch Turns in Season-Best Performance
Cash Lynch produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Pana to the win on Friday. Lynch picked up 78 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
Lynch and Pana will look to defend their home field on Friday against Litchfield/Mt. Olive at 7:00 p.m. The matchup will pit Lynch up against the 's star WR Martavious Jones. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.
