Fisher Leftwich Crosses Big Stat Threshold
North Surry was led to victory by Fisher Leftwich, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Leftwich picked up 184 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 34 yards and two touchdowns. The performance once again pushed his average receiving yardage north of 100 yards per game (101.6). He is trending in the right direction considering he's improved his point production for three straight games.
Leftwich must have North Wilkes's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Leftwich last faced the Vikings back in September of 2023, he picked up 134 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
