Stephen's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 103 rushing yards. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble, making eight total tackles (2.0 for loss), and defending two passes.
The victory (which was Hill City's fourth in a row) raised their record to 7-3. Stephen and Hill City will welcome South Central at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
