On Friday, Willis led Washington High School in Washington, Iowa, to 41-27 victory over Mt. Pleasant High School in Mt. Pleasant according to reports. CBS Sports reported that the win put the Washington Demons at 4-0 overall, and 2-0 in the district.
Of Willis' six touchdowns, three were passing and three were rushing. The first touchdown of the game was Willis' 4-yard run, which secured a lead for the Demons.

"Getting points on the board that early is something that, if you want to win the game, you need to do,” the highschooler told the Southeast Iowa Union after the game. “Coming out here and recovering that fumble did so much for us. It gave us so much momentum.”
Willis' three passing touchdowns came 28 yards, 17 yards out, and a 3-yard scoring toss. Two of those were back-to-back touchdowns. The quarterback also rushed for 95 yards, per the Union.
