A Season-Best Effort from Josh Novak Leads Avalon over Milford
Avalon was led to victory by Josh Novak, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday.

The contest was his ninth straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season. He is trending in the right direction considering he's improved his point production for three straight games.
