Nunu Kennedy's Big Game Leads Elysian Fields over Union Grove
Elysian Fields took down Union Grove on Friday, a win that might not have happened without Nunu Kennedy's standout performance. Kennedy did his part (and then some), rushing for 146 yards and two touchdowns, while also picking up 33 receiving yards and a touchdown for the 'W'. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble, making seven total tackles, and defending a pass.
For the season, Kennedy has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 53.8 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had two receiving touchdowns.
Gamescore: 55.15
Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns from Jace Roberts
Jace Roberts continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least two rushing touchdowns. He threw for 237 yards and four touchdowns on only 18 passes, and also rushed for 64 yards and two touchdowns. His passing game has become a key predictor of Union Grove's success: the team is undefeated when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 1-2 otherwise.
This year, Roberts has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 165.3 passing yards per game.

Ross Came Up Big in Big Sandy's 65-34 Loss
Lurbryson Ross's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his fourth-straight game with 104+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 138 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 46 receiving yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also made three total tackles and defended two passes.
Ross will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Elysian Fields on Friday. The matchup will pit Ross up against the Yellowjackets' star rusher Alex Simmons. 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.
