Hayden Muirhead Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Hayden Muirhead was instrumental in extending Overton's winning streak to seven on Friday. Muirhead made a major impact, rushing for 141 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (105).
This season, Muirhead has averaged 112.7 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had nine rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 14.

Cauy Meyer and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Cauy Meyer was instrumental in extending Loomis's winning streak to seven on Thursday. Meyer rushed for 38 yards and a touchdown. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023.

Jace Schukar Goes Supernova in Loomis Win
Jace Schukar's big game helped extend Loomis's winning streak to seven on Thursday. Schukar did his part (and then some), rushing for 100 yards and two touchdowns, while also picking up 45 receiving yards for the 'W'. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his seventh straight game with at least 100 rushing yards dating back to last season.
This season, Schukar has averaged 54.3 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 24.14 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 156.57 rushing yards.
