Caleb Walters and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Caleb Walters's big game helped extend Hillgrove's winning streak to six on Friday. Walters turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 135 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.5 yards per carry.
Walters and Hillgrove will welcome Campbell at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The last time Walters took on the Spartans, he rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Christian Smith Delivers Best Performance of Season
Christian Smith produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Harrison to the win on Friday. Smith wasn't messing around, picking up two sacks and making six total tackles. The game was his sixth straight with six or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Smith must have McEachern's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Smith made 14 total tackles (2.0 for loss) the last time he and the Indians duked it out back in October of 2023.

Rachid Bassinga Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Rachid Bassinga posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 79 yards and a touchdown on only six carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 58 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
On the year, Bassinga has run in those 1 touchdown while averaging 35.3 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after three games last season, he was only averaging 22.67 rushing yards per game.
