Braydon Hall had another good game with 30 carries for 145 yards and a touchdown to lead the Saints ground game. His rushing score came from a yard out, with his line making the run look very easy. He would have a long run of 20 yards for the game and averaged nearly 5 yards a pop.

Jackson Willis, the outstanding quarterback for the Saints, added four more touchdowns to his yearly total, giving him 31 to end his season, according to the stats I have read. He would go 13-18 on the game for 227 yards. Maybe the two biggest stats for him were zero picks and zero sacks. At times, his offensive line seems to have a protective shield around him with a flashing sigh, saying private property should stay away.

DeVuan Jones and LJ Wardeach had two touchdowns. Each receiver had just two receptions, with Jones totaling 87 yards and Ward having 39 yards.

Jeremiah King had six receptions for 61 yards to lead the Saints receiving unit.

On the defensive side of things for the Saints, Cole Snow led all tacklers with 11 total. He had one sack, causing a loss of 10 yards. Ward would have a pick to lead the defense in that category. Campbell Richardson would have a sack and a total of five tackles.

For Adams Central, even when they trailed by 21 in the second, they never quit, nor did it look like, from my view in the press box, they hung their heads down and showed any sign of quitting.

Quarterback Jack Hamilton had a roller coaster-like game, throwing for three scores and completing 16-24 passes, but he was sacked two times, harassed most of the game from the crazy pressure the Saints were able to bring, and he threw two picks. He also had a rushing score on 12 carries for 50 yards.

Trevor Currie had two touchdown catches as he totaled six catches for 126 yards, including 39 yards after the catch. Ryan Tester caught five balls good for 81 yards and a score.

The Flying Jets were held to 100 yards on the ground, with Keegan Bluhm and Hamilton netting fifty each.

Braylend Reber led the defense with seven total tackles, along with teammates Cameron Fravel and Zac Wurm chipping in with six each.
