Jacoryn Johnson Turns in Another Game with at Least Eight Total Tackles
On Friday, Dunbar had to settle for second even though Jacoryn Johnson put up the best numbers he has all season. Johnson wasn't messing around, picking up 0.5 sacks, forcing a fumble, and making 18 total tackles (4.0 for loss).

Benbrook Wins Eighth-Straight Thanks to Kade Cross
Kade Cross's big game helped extend Benbrook's winning streak to eight on Friday. Cross turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 122 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 30 yards and a touchdown. He showed off some serious burst, cutting upfield on a catch for 53 yards.
Benbrook's win was their sixth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 8-0. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Bobcats takes on Glen Rose at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Canyon Evans Dazzles in Glen Rose Victory
Canyon Evans continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his fifth-straight game with at least three passing touchdowns. He threw for 254 yards and three touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes.
Evans must have Venus's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Evans last faced the Bulldogs back in October of 2023, he threw for 379 yards and six touchdowns on only 19 passes.
