Max Hilliard Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Max Hilliard produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Arrowhead Christian to the win on Friday. Hilliard rushed for 266 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 14.0 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (108.3) per game. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 76-yard run.
Arrowhead Christian has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matchups, which provided a massive bump to their 3-4 record this season. Hilliard and Arrowhead Christian will look to defend their home field on Friday against Western Christian at 7:00 p.m.

Big Bear was sadly handed a loss on Saturday, but Aiden Brewer did his best to prevent it. Brewer was unstoppable, making three total tackles. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 66 yards.
The defeat snapped Big Bear's winning streak at four games and leaves them with a 5-2 record. Brewer will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Maranatha on Friday.
