Elijah Genenbacher Delivers Best Effort of Season
Camp Point Central was led to victory by Elijah Genenbacher, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Genenbacher rushed for 102 yards and four touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 58 yards and a touchdown. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 63 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Genenbacher might just drop another big game when he faces off against Carrollton on Saturday. When Genenbacher last faced the Hawks back in October of 2023, he rushed for 75 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries.

Kellen Creviston Goes Supernova in Routt Catholic/Lutheran Loss

Brown County's probably not too fond of Creviston given he always seems to get the better of them. Creviston threw for 317 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, and also rushed for 49 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and Brown County duked it out back in October of 2023.
