Holmes Came Up Big in Gravette's 55-7 Victory
Gabriel Holmes's big game helped extend Gravette's winning streak to six on Friday. Holmes was unstoppable, rushing for 48 yards and three touchdowns, while also picking up 36 receiving yards. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in three or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Holmes could be in store for another big game when he takes on Berryville on Friday.
