Mason Jewell Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Surry Central got the W thanks in part to Mason Jewell playing the best football he has all season. Jewell rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 121 yards and two touchdowns on only six passes. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 74 yards.
The win (which was Surry Central's third in a row) raised their record to 4-2. Jewell and Surry Central will venture away from home to take on North Surry at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Fisher Leftwich Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Friday, North Surry got the W thanks in part to Fisher Leftwich playing the best football he has all season. Leftwich picked up 184 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 34 yards and two touchdowns. He's now once again averaging 100+ receiving yards (101.6) per game. He continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played.
North Wilkes had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Leftwich it was a similar story. When Leftwich last faced the Vikings back in September of 2023, he picked up 134 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
