  "account": "On October 10, Morton High School's Huskies defeated North Beach 94-68 in a thrilling 8-man football game. Morton coach Lee Metcalf expected a low-scoring contest given the limited players and expansive field. Instead, the Huskies racked up 94 points, nearly setting a new school record for touchdowns.\n\nLogan Mays dominated the game, tying Judah Kelly's school touchdown record with nine touchdowns. He amassed an astonishing 373 rushing yards on just 18 carries and added a 45-yard touchdown catch, bringing his total yardage for the night to 418. Liam Pelletier and Peyton Shields also contributed significantly, each scoring three touchdowns and Mays' fellow linebacker tallying a combined 146 rushing yards.\n\nThe Huskies dominated both rushing and passing plays, amassing 1,134 total yards of offense. Despite Morton's defensive players dealing with cramps early in the game, the team managed to pull away after securing the second half. With this victory, Morton (5-1) now leads North Beach (4-2) in the standings and has the tiebreaker, putting them in a strong position to clinch the division with their final three games.",
