A Season-Best Performance from Trevor Jacobs Leads Chiles over North Bay Haven Academy
On Thursday, Chiles got the W thanks in part to Trevor Jacobs playing the best football he has all season. Jacobs picked up 92 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Chiles moved to 2-6 with that victory, which also ended their five-game losing streak. Jacobs' next matchup is against Leon on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

Jacobs Jr and Chiles will take on Leon at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Jacobs Jr took on the Lions, he rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, and also threw for 124 yards on six of 18 attempts. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Tyler Howard Has Career-Day on Friday
Tyler Howard posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He made five total tackles.
