Brogan Gross Turns in Season-Best Effort
Athens came up short on Friday despite Brogan Gross delivering his best game to date. Gross threw for 262 yards and five touchdowns, and also rushed for 70 yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Muscle Shoals's probably not too fond of Gross given he always seems to get the better of them. Gross threw for 201 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 58 yards and a touchdown on only six carries the last time he and the Trojans duked it out back in September of 2023.

Cayden Oliver Turns in Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles
On Thursday, Decatur got the W thanks in part to Cayden Oliver playing the best football he has all season.

The game was his eighth straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
This season, Oliver has averaged 10.7 total tackles per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 4.86 total tackles per game.
