Noah Wilcoxon Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Villa Grove got the W thanks in part to Noah Wilcoxon playing the best football he has all season. Wilcoxon picked up 90 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in two touchdowns on the ground.
Cerro Gordo/Bement had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Wilcoxon it was a similar story. When Wilcoxon last faced the Broncos back in September of 2023, he picked up 130 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Nolan Herpstreith continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his fourth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 100 rushing yards. He rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown.
