Mason Drake, RB, Loyola The 5-foot-9, 160-pound junior is on a roll. He’s collected three 100-yard rushing efforts in his past four games, including a 171-yard night on 16 carries last week vs. Woodlawn.
Look for him as a receiving threat out of the backfield against BTW, too. Christian Maxie, RB, Byrd This sophomore averages 16.4 yards per carry and 137.
4 rushing yards per game. It will be hard to forget his performance against Parkway this year – 291 yards on eight carries and touchdowns of 76. 73 and 51 yards.
The Benton Tigers have their work cut out for them. DeMarkus Evans, WR, Evangel The Parkway transfer has played in just four games this season, but he’s already tied for the team lead in receptions (40). He’s complied 522 receiving yards (130-.
5 per game) and one touchdown. The junior will look to add to that total when the Eagles host Haughton. Kameron Harris, S, Minden The Crimson Tide defense, including this junior safety could be licking their chops.
The Bearkats have scored just 90 points this season and Harris as already corralled three interceptions. Christian Blackmon, LB, Northwood This senior leads the Falcons and ranks in the top 10 locally in tackles (63) this season. He’ll look add to his interception total (currently at 1) as Southwood’s Cornelious Martin has thrown nine in 2024.
Braelyn Latin, RB, North DeSoto If you’re going to pluck a running back off the Griffins, why wouldn’t you take Kenny Thomas? Great question, but more than one North DeSoto runner will cook Friday against Woodlawn..
