Aaron Lummus Delivers Electric Effort Vs Sterling

With the loss, Milby broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 4-5. Lummus and Milby will get a bit of extra time to process the defeat as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Spring Woods at 12:00 p.m. on November 9th.

Baines Came Up Big in Westbury's 55-0 Win
Keeping Rivas hernandez company is David Baines, a fellow Westbury player. He rushed for 118 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, and also threw for 95 yards and two touchdowns on only eight passes. He is becoming a predictor of Westbury's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 4-2 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
This season, Baines has thrown 9 touchdowns while averaging 74.9 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after nine games last season, he had one passing touchdown.
