Eller's next contest is against Topsail on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance. The game will pit Eller up against the Pirates' star signal caller Eli Hebron.

Jonah Campbell Delivers Best Effort of Season
North Brunswick was led to victory by Jonah Campbell, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Campbell rushed for 109 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also threw for 117 yards and a touchdown while completing 75% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 62 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Campbell and North Brunswick will take on Laney at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The match will pit Campbell up against the Buccaneers' star QB Kolbe Little. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.
