Friday's Finest - Running Wild

One of the few mainstays on the weekly list has been Prescott Line, and for good reason. On Friday night Line rushed for 296 yards on 32 carries. The senior running back is now over 2,000 yards for the seson, and still has one more regular season game, and not to mention the playoffs to improve his mark.

One player that has been eclipsing the 200 yard mark at a Line-like pace has been Farmington Hills Harrison’s Lorenzo Collins who again cleared the 200 yard plateau with a 218 yard performance in the Hawks’ win over Lake Orion.

Mark Cargle, Kezlow “Squirrel” Smith and Jeff Johnson, are a huge reason as to why Pontiac is one win away from making the playoffs after a slow 2-3 start to their season. The three headed monster, rolled their way to 216 yards in Pontiac’s win over Farmington.

North Farmington’s backfield tandem of Jacquis Woods and Kevin Miller have been key for the Raiders in their return to the playoffs this season, and that was the case again as the duo combined for about 250 yards on the night, clinching a playoff berth for North Farmington.

Pontiac Notre Dame Prep has been dominant all year long, as the Fighting Irish have gotten out to an 8-0 start. A big reason: the running game. Behind Shane Frakes and Jacob Romeo, the Irish continue to roll with the two combining for nearly 230 yards in their beat down of Pinconning.

Walled Lake Central quarterback Zac Leimbach is well known for what he can do with his legs, but on Friday he showed that he can throw the ball around too, throwing for 130 yards, but still rushing for 196 yards as well.

Kirk Thomas is quickly becoming one of the top dual threat quarterbacks around, as the Walled Lake Northern quarterback threw for 261 yards while rushing for 50 yards bringing the Knights to within one win of clinching their first playoff berth.
