Cameron Bedwell was instrumental in extending Gravette's winning streak to six on Friday. Bedwell rushed for 99 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 85 yards and a touchdown while completing 71.4% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.

Bennett Roberts Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Gentry got the W thanks in part to Bennett Roberts playing the best football he has all season. Roberts made 13 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
For the year, Roberts has averaged 10 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 37.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 116.5 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 45.85
Kydon Lynch Makes It Two for Gentry
Keeping Roberts company is Kydon Lynch, a fellow Gentry player. He wasn't messing around on Friday, picking up a sack and making 12 total tackles (4.0 for loss). The match was his sixth straight with five or more total tackles.
For the year, Lynch has averaged 8.3 total tackles per game and for the season has 6 sacks.

Gravette Gets a Boost from Holmes in 55-7 Win
Gabriel Holmes was instrumental in extending Gravette's winning streak to six on Friday. Holmes did his part (and then some), rushing for 48 yards and three touchdowns, while also picking up 36 receiving yards for the 'W'. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in three or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
Holmes might have his next game, a home matchup with Berryville, circled on his calendar. Holmes threw for 215 yards and four touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes, and also rushed for 66 yards on only five carries the last time he and the Bobcats duked it out back in October of 2023.
