Marcus Flowers Dazzles in Princeton Win
Thanks in part to Marcus Flowers, Princeton said goodbye to their five-game losing streak. Flowers did his part (and then some), throwing for 422 yards and two touchdowns for the 'W'.
For the year, Flowers has thrown 22 touchdowns while averaging 293 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 2.25 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 10.63 rushing yards.

Princeton's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Jakeylen Perkins
Jakeylen Perkins helped snap Princeton's five-game losing streak. Plano West had no answer to Perkins on Friday as he picked up 82 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in two touchdowns on the ground.
On the season, Perkins has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 65.5 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 30.38 receiving yards per game.

Riley Pettijohn Turns in Another Game with at Least Eight Total Tackles
Riley Pettijohn continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 19th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least eight total tackles. He picked up a sack and made nine total tackles.
Unfortunately for McKinney Boyd, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Pettijohn. When Pettijohn last faced the Broncos back in September of 2023, he picked up a sack and made 18 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
