Don’t stop. Can’t stop.

- 24/7 Sports’ Brian Perroni: Week 11: Stats across Texas — RB Da’Leon Ward (113 rush – 2 TD); QB Xavier Martin (15-20 – 170 pass; 2 TD; 46 rush – 2 TD); RB Bryson Denley (84 rush – 1 TD); WR Antoine Wesley-Cox (62 receiving); QB Jett Duffey (6-10 – 115 pass – 2 TD; 84 rush – 1 TD); WR T.J. Vasher (81 receiving). As an aside, Steele won in a blowout win as did Duffey (who maybe threw his first interception of the year), which is why their stats weren’t off the charts.
