Westlake's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 4-5. Smith's next matchup is against East Coweta on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Carrollton Wins Ninth-Straight Thanks to Peyton Zachary
Peyton Zachary's big game helped extend Carrollton's winning streak to nine on Friday. Zachary picked up 104 receiving yards and two touchdowns, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long.
Zachary and Carrollton will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Douglas County at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st. The contest will pit Zachary up against the Tigers' star WR Aaron Gregory. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
