A Season-Best Effort from Elijah Genenbacher Leads Camp Point Central over Triopia/Meredosia-Chambersburg/Virginia
Camp Point Central was led to victory by Elijah Genenbacher, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Genenbacher rushed for 102 yards and four touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 58 yards and a touchdown. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 63 yards.
Camp Point Central pushed their record up to 6-1 with the win, which was their 11th straight at home dating back to last season. Genenbacher and Camp Point Central will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against West Central co-op [Winchester-Bluffs] at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.

Creviston Came Up Big in Routt Catholic/Lutheran's 60-39 Loss
Kellen Creviston's tear continued on Friday as he dropped his third-straight game with 339+ passing yards dating back to last season. He threw for 407 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.0 yards per attempt, and also punched in two touchdowns on the ground.
Brown County's probably not too fond of Creviston given he always seems to get the better of them. Creviston threw for 317 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, and also rushed for 49 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and Brown County duked it out back in October of 2023.

Jace Lautemann Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Jace Lautemann posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Routt Catholic/Lutheran over Brown County on Friday. Lautemann picked up 117 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 65 yards.
Lautemann and Routt Catholic/Lutheran will take on Greenfield/Northwestern at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. The last time Lautemann took on Greenfield/Northwestern, he picked up 125 receiving yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
