A Season-Best Performance from Jordan Stapleton Leads West Harrison over Picayune

The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in August of 2023. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 129 rushing yards dating back to last season.
On the season, Stapleton has averaged 42.7 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 52 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 165.29 rushing yards.
