Willie Smith Delivers Best Effort of Season
Sadly, Willie Smith posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Dreher over Lancaster on Friday. Smith made 14 total tackles (1.0 for loss). He also punched in three rushing touchdowns, which is notable because Dreher is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Dreher now has a losing record at 3-4. Smith and Dreher will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on South Pointe at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th.

Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles from Azel Banag
On Friday, A.C. Flora got the W thanks in part to Azel Banag playing the best football he has all season.

The matchup was his fourth straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
A.C. Flora's win was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-2. Banag and A.C. Flora will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Camden at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st.
