A Season-Best Performance from Dreandre Bruton Leads Piedmont over Eisenhower

Morgan Posts Huge Game in 35-28 Victory
Mayor Morgan's big game helped extend Choctaw's winning streak to four on Thursday. Morgan turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 129 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.6 yards per carry, and also picking up 42 receiving yards and a touchdown. He has been hot recently, having posted two or more rushing touchdowns the last four times he's played.
On the season, Morgan has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 36.3 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had seven rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 13.

Jayden Fuston Makes It Two for Piedmont
