Cole Taylor Dazzles in Pflugerville Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Thursday Cole Taylor stepped things up a notch to give Pflugerville the 'W'. McCallum had no answer to Taylor as he threw for 323 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 14.7 yards per attempt, and also punched in two touchdowns on the ground.

Zaire Nuells Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sadly, Zaire Nuells posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Elgin over Liberty Hill on Friday. Nuells rushed for 96 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries, and also picked up 119 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 55 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Elgin's loss dropped their record down to 2-4. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Wildcats faces off against Crockett at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
