Big Game from Birge As Slocomb Won 40-21
Starting off the list is Slocomb's Cade Birge, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Birge rushed for 180 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 195 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 passes. His longest rush was for an impressive 58 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Birge and Slocomb have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Montgomery Academy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The matchup will pit Birge up against the Eagles' star signal caller Reid Mcbride. 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.
