Gage Ely and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Gage Ely's big game helped extend Red Cloud's winning streak to six on Friday. Ely was unstoppable, rushing for 157 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.2 yards per carry. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making four total tackles and defending two passes.
On the season, Ely has averaged 25.7 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to 14.

Harvard had to settle for second on Friday, but Cohen Reutzel sure wasn't going down easily. Reutzel turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 28 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Harvard is on an 11-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-6. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Cardinals challenges Lewiston at 3:00 p.m. on Friday.
