Ralph (Trey) Blakeney Dazzles in Hough Win
Hough picked up their sixth consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Ralph (Trey) Blakeney. West Charlotte had no answer to Blakeney as he threw for 178 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 47 yards. The dominant performance gave Blakeney a new career-high in rushing yards.
On the year, Blakeney has thrown 22 touchdowns (and and only 3 picks) while averaging 221.3 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 11.14 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 26.71 rushing yards.

Zierre Brooks Turns in Season-Best Performance
