The junior quarterback keeps putting up incredible numbers for the undefeated Rams. In a 57-41 win over West Stokes, Neal was 24-of-31 for 335 yards and 2 touchdowns without a turnover. On the ground, he ran 11 times for 111 yards and 3 touchdowns. The 5-foot-9, 160-pounder, who is being recruited by colleges as a wide receiver, has completed 79 percent of his passes this season.

Jackson accounted for five touchdowns as the undefeated Cardinals rolled past Carver 53-24. He threw two touchdown passes, ran for two more touchdowns and scored on a 35-yard pick-six.

The undefeated Red Tornadoes’ quarterback fired four touchdown passes in a 44-6 rout of North Iredell. Stober, who was recently selected to play in the Shrine Bowl, is a Samford commit.

The 5-foot-10, 190-pound senior tailback put on a spectacular performance as Warriors outscored Cannon/Concord Academy 61-40. Williams ran for 361 yards and 7 touchdowns. It only took him 15 carries to put up those numbers.

Simco, the Wildcats’ quarterback, ran for 231 yards and 4 touchdowns as his team swamped Croatan 42-14. His touchdown runs were 59, 4, 42 and 66 yards. Simco also had 123 yards passing with 3 interceptions.

The Tennessee commit was nearly perfect, completing 13-of-14 passes for 232 yards and 4 touchdowns in a 49-7 pounding of Ragsdale. Brandon also had 34 yards rushing on 3 carries.

The 5-foot-10, 200-pound sophomore linebacker was a dominant force in the Grizzlies’ 17-0 shutout of North Davidson. Byrd made 16 tackles to go along with an interception, a sack and 4 hurries.
