ALA - West Foothills Gets a Boost from Cotten in 28-0 Victory
Hunter Cotten's big game helped extend ALA - West Foothills's winning streak to eight on Friday. Cotten was dynamite, picking up a sack and making ten total tackles (3.0 for loss). The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
On the season, Cotten has averaged 10.4 total tackles per game and for the season has 4 sacks. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to two.

Avion Bailey Turns in Season-Best Effort
Dysart was led to victory by Avion Bailey, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Bailey rushed for 54 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 54 receiving yards. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in August.
Page had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Bailey it was a similar story. Bailey picked up 159 receiving yards and four touchdowns the last time he and the Sand Devils duked it out back in October of 2023.
