Despite top scorer Winston, Apollo fall to Mack North, 194.16-183.00

Apollo had the highest scorer in the matchup with QB Jameis Winston accumulating 30.9 points, the sixth-best total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to vanquish Mack North, who earned a 194.16-183.00 victory. Apollo took a 20.40-point lead on Thursday, but Mack North held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Todd Gurley II, who racked up 225 yards from scrimmage and ran for 2 touchdowns for 36.5 points, and Sony Michel, who ran for 106 yards and 2 touchdowns (22.6 points). Jameis Winston (30.9 points) and Stephen Gostkowski (22) were the leading performers for Apollo in the loss. Mack North (3-3) will look to maintain their momentum against Axel, while Apollo (4-2) will try to develop some positive momentum against MangoKid.
