Jacob Collins Turns in Another Game with at Least 121 Receiving Yards
On Friday, Grass Lake got the W thanks in part to Jacob Collins playing the best football he has all season.

He was no stranger to the big play, lighting up the secondary with a catch that went for 51 yards.
On the year, Collins has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 116.5 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 29 receiving yards per game.

While Alex Lewin delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for East Jackson. Lewin turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 139 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.3 yards per carry.

Leslie pushed their record up to 7-0 with the win, which was their fourth straight on the road. Cranmore and Leslie will square off against Grass Lake at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
