Big Game from Cotten As ALA - West Foothills Won 28-0
Hunter Cotten's big game helped extend ALA - West Foothills's winning streak to eight on Friday. Cotten did his part (and then some), picking up a sack and making ten total tackles (3.0 for loss) for the 'W'. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
For the year, Cotten has averaged 10.4 total tackles per game and for the season has 4 sacks. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to two.

Avion Bailey Turns in Season-Best Performance
Avion Bailey produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Dysart to the win on Friday. Bailey rushed for 54 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 54 receiving yards. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in August.
Bailey must have Page's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Bailey last faced the Sand Devils back in October of 2023, he picked up 159 receiving yards and four touchdowns.

Noah Ramirez and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Dysart picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Noah Ramirez. Ramirez was unstoppable, making 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Unfortunately for Page, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Ramirez. Ramirez made five total tackles the last time he and the Sand Devils duked it out back in October of 2023.
