Top Performers from Sam Houston Bearkats


Jay Ducker, a running back for the Bearkats, has emerged as a formidable force on the ground. With an impressive 111 yards and a touchdown against Kennesaw State Owls and consistent performances in subsequent games, Ducker's ability to penetrate defenses has been paramount. His agility and speed make him a pivotal player for the Bearkats' offensive strategy.


Not to be overlooked, wide receiver Simeon Evans has showcased his receiving skills with notable receptions and yards gained across recent matches. His synergy with quarterback Hunter Watson, who threw for 179 yards in one of the games despite an interception, demonstrates a potent offensive duo that could spell trouble for the Gamecocks' defense.


Jacksonville State Gamecocks' Standouts


On the opposing side, Tre Stewart and Ron Wiggins have been instrumental in Jacksonville State's rushing game. Stewart's remarkable performance with 136 rushing yards and two touchdowns in one game highlights his explosive potential. Meanwhile, Wiggins' contributions add depth to a multifaceted running attack that could challenge the Bearkats' defensive line.


Tyler Huff at quarterback has also shown promise with his arm strength and accuracy. His ability to connect with receivers like Michael Pettway and Sean Brown—who caught a touchdown pass for 56 yards—will be crucial for breaking through Sam Houston's defense.


Predictions for the Upcoming Clash


As both teams gear up for this anticipated showdown, strategies will revolve around these key players. For Sam Houston Bearkats to secure victory, containing Jacksonville's robust running game will be essential. Conversely, Jacksonville State must disrupt Bearkats' offensive plays and limit Jay Ducker's impact on the ground.
