Brody Gilliam Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Brody Gilliam posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead North Eugene over Crater on Friday. Gilliam rushed for 88 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, and also threw for 198 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Gilliam and North Eugene will venture away from home to take on Thurston at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Gilliam will face off against Noah Blair, the Colts' star quarterback. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
