Big Game from Hays As Garden Plain Won 35-7
Emrick Hays's big game helped extend Garden Plain's winning streak to five on Friday. Nobody could stop Hays as he rushed for 68 yards and two touchdowns. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last four games he's played.

Cooper Garrison Makes It Two for Trinity Academy
The second Trinity Academy player making an appearance here is Cooper Garrison, and for good reason. He picked up 139 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Trinity Academy's success: when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 1-4 when he doesn't).
This season, Garrison has caught 11 touchdowns while averaging 84.6 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 7.13 receiving yards per game.
