Cacy Came Up Big in Arapahoe's 51-12 Win
William Cacy's big game helped extend Arapahoe's winning streak to seven on Friday. Cacy did his part (and then some), rushing for 141 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries for the 'W'. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his seventh straight game with at least 106 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Arapahoe pushed their record up to 7-0 with the win, which was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season. Cacy and Arapahoe will face off against St. Patrick's at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Lane Bybee Makes It Two for Dundy County-Stratton
The second Dundy County-Stratton player making an appearance here is Lane Bybee, and for good reason. He wasn't messing around on Friday, picking up 2.5 sacks, forcing a fumble, and making 11 total tackles (4.0 for loss). The match was his third straight with 11 or more total tackles dating back to last season.
This season, Bybee has averaged 11.3 total tackles per game and for the season has 4.5 sacks. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one forced fumble. This year he is already up to three.
