A Season-Best Performance from Collin Peters Leads Athens Drive over Sanderson
On Friday, Athens Drive had to settle for second even though Collin Peters put up the best numbers he has all season. Peters rushed for 120 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries, and also threw for 90 yards and a touchdown.
Peters and Athens Drive will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Leesville Road at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th. The match will pit Peters up against the Pride's star WR Jayden Gary. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.

Big Game from Goldston As Leesville Road Won 56-14
Deiondre Goldston's big game helped extend Leesville Road's winning streak to seven on Friday. Nobody could stop Goldston as he threw for 269 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.2 yards per attempt. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Broughton had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Goldston it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Goldston saw the Capitals), he threw for 220 yards and three touchdowns.
