A Season-Best Performance from Steele Skinner Leads Holliday over Millsap
On Friday, Holliday got the W thanks in part to Steele Skinner playing the best football he has all season. Skinner rushed for 198 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
On the season, Skinner has averaged 25.7 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 36.83 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 62.83 rushing yards.

Carson Rojas Turns in Another Game with at Least 106 Rushing Yards
Carson Rojas continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 106 rushing yards. He rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries.
Valley View is on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-5. Rojas and Valley View will venture away from home to face off against Holliday at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 54.93
Millsap had to settle for second on Friday, but Nixon Delaune sure wasn't going down easily. Nobody could stop Delaune as he picked up a sack, made four total tackles, and defended a pass. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack, made four total tackles, and defended a pass.
Millsap has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four games, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-4 record this season. Their homestand will continue as they prepare to take on Jacksboro at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 42.80
