Langston Hughes was led to victory by Carsyn Baker, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Baker rushed for 134 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 62 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.

Leshawn Stuckey Makes It Two for Banneker
The second Banneker player making an appearance here is Leshawn Stuckey, and for good reason. He picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss). Stuckey is crushing it when it comes to total tackles: he's made at least seven every time he's taken the field this season.
This season, Stuckey has averaged 11.7 total tackles per game and for the season has 2 sacks. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one forced fumble. This year he is already up to four.
