Caston Cox Makes It Two for Simla
The second Simla player making an appearance here is Caston Cox, and for good reason. He threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns on perfect 7-for-7 passing.
If the past is any indication, Cox could be in store for another big game when he takes on Elbert on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Cox saw the Bulldogs), he threw for 259 yards and four touchdowns on only 11 passes, and also punched in a rushing score.

Byers Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Aj Engle

He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing a fumble and making three total tackles.
On the year, Engle has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 43.9 receiving yards per game.
