Farmington Gets a Boost from Hoopes in 28-20 Win
Farmington picked up their third consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Travis Hoopes. Hoopes did his part (and then some), rushing for 145 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry for the 'W'. He is becoming a predictor of Farmington's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 3-1 (and 1-4 when he doesn't).
Farmington is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matches, which provided a nice bump to their 4-5 record this season. Hoopes' next matchup is against Fremont on Wednesday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

A Season-Best Performance from Owen Simkins Leads Fremont over Weber
Owen Simkins produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Fremont to the win on Thursday. Simkins rushed for 43 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 85 receiving yards and a touchdown. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 70 yards.
Simkins and Fremont will head out on the road to face off against Farmington at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The match will pit Simkins up against the Phoenix's star RB Travis Hoopes. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Bode Sparrow's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Davis over Farmington
Bode Sparrow continued his hot streak on Thursday by dropping his third-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 101 receiving yards.

Davis' loss ended a ten-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 6-3. Sparrow and Davis are taking a road trip to take on Syracuse at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
