Gravette Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Cameron Bedwell
Cameron Bedwell was instrumental in extending Gravette's winning streak to six on Friday. Bedwell rushed for 99 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 85 yards and a touchdown while completing 71.4% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.

Gabriel Holmes Delivers Electric Performance Vs Huntsville
Gabriel Holmes's big game helped extend Gravette's winning streak to six on Friday. Huntsville had no answer to Holmes as he rushed for 48 yards and three touchdowns, and also picked up 36 receiving yards. Holmes is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in three or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
Holmes is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Berryville on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Holmes saw the Bobcats), he threw for 215 yards and four touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes, and also rushed for 66 yards on only five carries.
