Jammall Fludd's big game helped extend Porter-Gaud's winning streak to four on Friday. Fludd was unstoppable, rushing for 77 yards and a touchdown.
If history really does repeat itself, Fludd might just drop another big game when he faces off against Cardinal Newman on Thursday. Fludd rushed for 225 yards and four touchdowns the last time he and the Cardinals duked it out back in October of 2023.

Austin Huff Delivers Best Performance of Season
Ben Lippen was led to victory by Austin Huff, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Huff wasn't messing around, picking up three sacks, making seven total tackles (5.0 for loss), and defending a pass. The matchup was his third straight with five or more total tackles.

Tony Brown Makes It Two for Porter-Gaud
Another Porter-Gaud player making an appearance on this list is Tony Brown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 101 rushing yards dating back to last season. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making eight total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending two passes.
Brown and Porter-Gaud will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Cardinal Newman at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th. The last time Brown took on the Cardinals, he picked up a sack and made ten total tackles. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
