Kane Archer and Co. Win 19th in a Row
Greenwood picked up their 19th consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Kane Archer. Archer turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 393 yards and seven touchdowns while completing 77.3% of his passes.
If history really does repeat itself, Archer might just drop another big game when he faces off against Lake Hamilton on Friday.

Griffin Mason's Big Game Leads Shiloh Christian over Southside
Keeping Eldridge company is Griffin Mason, a fellow Shiloh Christian player. He rushed for 245 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 42 receiving yards. Mason is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 111 every time he's taken the field this season.
This year, Mason has caught 1 touchdown while averaging 27.8 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 8.33 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 185.83 rushing yards.

Barton Made His Presence Known in Lake Hamilton's 41-3 Victory
Hayden Barton's big game helped extend Lake Hamilton's winning streak to five on Friday. Barton did his part (and then some), rushing for 126 yards and three touchdowns, while also catching a touchdown for the 'W'. Barton is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 106 every time he's taken the field this season.
Unfortunately for Van Buren, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Barton. Barton rushed for 188 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 11.8 yards per carry the last time he and the Pointers duked it out back in September of 2023.
