Gamescore: 92.52
Wyatt Atkinson Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
On Friday, Perkins-Tryon got the W thanks in part to Wyatt Atkinson playing the best football he has all season. Atkinson rushed for 166 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 50 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Mannford's probably not too fond of Atkinson given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Atkinson saw the Pirates), he rushed for 105 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries.
Gamescore: 58.63
Braiton Applegate Makes It Two for Perkins-Tryon

This season, Applegate has run in 2 touchdowns while averaging 11.8 rushing yards per game.

A Season-Best Effort from Promised Johnson Leads Bristow over Seminole
Bristow was led to victory by Promised Johnson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Johnson rushed for 45 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 57 yards and a touchdown while completing 80% of his passes.
