Big Game from Hoopes As Farmington Won 28-20
Farmington picked up their third consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Travis Hoopes. Hoopes did his part (and then some), rushing for 145 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry for the 'W'. He has become a key player for Farmington: the team is 3-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-4 otherwise.
Farmington has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests, which provided a nice bump to their 4-5 record this season. Hoopes and Farmington will be playing in front of their home fans against Fremont at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
Gamescore: 36.88
Owen Simkins Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Thursday, Fremont got the W thanks in part to Owen Simkins playing the best football he has all season. Simkins rushed for 43 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 85 receiving yards and a touchdown. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 70 yards.
Simkins will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Farmington on Wednesday. Simkins will face off against Travis Hoopes on Wednesday, the Phoenix's star running back. Will the contest be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Bode Sparrow Goes Supernova in Davis Defeat
Bode Sparrow's receiving tear continued on Thursday as he dropped his third-straight game with 101+ receiving yards dating back to last season. He picked up 109 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Davis's success: when he posts at least 100 receiving yards the team is 5-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
Davis' loss ended a ten-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 6-3. Sparrow and Davis will venture away from home to square off against Syracuse at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
