Northwood Gets a Boost from Johnson in 46-14 Win
Another Northwood player making an appearance on this list is Kyran Johnson. He rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown, and also caught two touchdowns.
This year, Johnson has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 26 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to five.

Luke Delafield Turns in Season-Best Effort
Luke Delafield produced his most outstanding game to date while leading North DeSoto to the win on Friday. Delafield threw for 200 yards and three touchdowns while completing 76.5% of his passes.
Minden's probably not too fond of Delafield given he always seems to get the better of them. Delafield threw for 248 yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Crimson Tide duked it out back in September of 2023.

Kenny Thomas Makes It Two for North Desoto
The second North DeSoto player making an appearance here is Kenny Thomas, and for good reason. He wasn't messing around on Friday, rushing for 84 yards and two touchdowns. The game was his third straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season. North DeSoto is undefeated when Thomas posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
For the year, Thomas has run in 12 touchdowns while averaging 143.8 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he had seven rushing touchdowns.
