Jamon Wilson Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Thursday, Highland Park got the W thanks in part to Jamon Wilson playing the best football he has all season. Wilson rushed for 120 yards and three touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making three total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending four passes in addition to snagging an interception.
This season, Wilson has run in 7 touchdowns while averaging 72.9 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown.
Gamescore: 57.15
While Brenaj Price delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Schlagle. Nobody could stop Price as he picked up 33 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Schlagle has traveled a rocky road recently having lost four of their last five matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-5 record this season. Price's next matchup is against Bonner Springs on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

G?Honi Montgomery Goes Supernova in Highland Park Win
The second Highland Park player making an appearance here is G?Honi Montgomery, and for good reason. He rushed for 92 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 92-yard run.
This season, Montgomery has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 84.3 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he had one rushing touchdown.
