Joshua Moultrie's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Emerald Ridge was led to victory by Joshua Moultrie, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Moultrie rushed for 121 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This year, Moultrie has run in those 3 touchdowns while averaging 57.6 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he was only averaging 5.4 rushing yards per game.

Kyson Douglas Delivers Electric Performance Vs Sumner
The second Puyallup player making an appearance here is Kyson Douglas, and for good reason. He picked up 129 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 67 yards. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 70 yards.
Sumner had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Douglas it was a similar story. Douglas picked up 168 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Spartans duked it out back in September of 2023.
