Jonathan Williams Delivers Best Effort of Season
Jonathan Williams produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Havelock to the win on Friday. Williams picked up 174 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 72 yards.
Unfortunately for D.H. Conley, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Williams. Williams rushed for 221 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries, and also threw for 100 yards and a touchdown while completing 72.2% of his passes the last time he and the Vikings duked it out back in September of 2023.

Karvin Magwood Turns in Season-Best Effort
New Bern was led to victory by Karvin Magwood, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Magwood rushed for 133 yards and two touchdowns.
Magwood is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Northside - Jacksonville on Friday. When Magwood last faced the Monarchs back in October of 2023, he rushed for 84 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also picked up 31 receiving yards and a touchdown.

A Season-Best Effort from Jaidon Lovett Leads J.H. Rose over Northside - Jacksonville
On Friday, J.H. Rose got the W thanks in part to Jaidon Lovett playing the best football he has all season. Lovett picked up 196 receiving yards and a touchdown.
If history really does repeat itself, Lovett might just drop another big game when he faces off against D.H. Conley on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Lovett saw the Vikings), he rushed for 218 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also threw for 215 yards and two touchdowns.
