A Season-Best Performance from Shawn Edmondson Leads Burroughs over Westminster Christian

Burroughs is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Edmondson and Burroughs will face off against Roosevelt/Carnahan at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Big Game from Macon As Burroughs Won 35-10
Another Burroughs player making an appearance on this list is Dylan Macon. He rushed for 166 yards and a touchdown.
If history really does repeat itself, Macon might just drop another big game when he faces off against Roosevelt/Carnahan on Saturday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Macon saw the ), he rushed for 184 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.2 yards per carry, and also picked up 34 receiving yards.

Gould Came Up Big in MICDS's 66-19 Victory
MICDS found a leader in Brian Gould as the squad took down Lutheran South on Thursday. Gould was dynamite, picking up 44 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 37 yards and a touchdown.
Gould and MICDS will venture away from home to square off against St. Dominic at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Rams had to take a loss when they last met the Crusaders, but Gould had little to do with the loss: he rushed for 79 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 141 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
