Karmello Jones Delivers Best Effort of Season
Cross was led to victory by Karmello Jones, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Jones rushed for 289 yards and seven touchdowns while picking up 11.6 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 87-yard run.
The victory was the fourth in a row for Cross, bringing their record for this year to 6-2. Jones and Cross will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Bethune-Bowman at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th.

Preston Fuller Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Cross got the W thanks in part to Preston Fuller playing the best football he has all season. Fuller picked up a sack, made five total tackles (2.0 for loss), and defended two passes.
For the season, Fuller has averaged 3.4 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging eight receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 24.63 receiving yards.

Bethune-Bowman's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Maurice Dawson

For the year, Dawson has caught those 2 touchdowns while averaging 21.3 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 1.67 receiving yards per game.
