Murray County Central’s Jaden Deacon amassed 274 yards on 29 carries in the season opener, a 40-0 triumph over MACCRAY on Sept. 2. The No. 2-1A Rebels (2-0) rolled past Wabasso 42-16 last week.
Tracy-Milroy-Balaton is fueled by Ayden Horner, who rumbled for 202 yards in the season opener, a 38-13 triumph over Lac qui Parle Valley. The No. 9-1A Panthers (2-0) blasted Adrian 41-0 last week.
