Keeping Charbonnneau company is Erick Castillo, a fellow Momence player. He threw for 174 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
Castillo is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Georgetown-Ridge Farm/Chrisman on Thursday. When Castillo last faced the Buffaloes back in October of 2023, he threw for 268 yards and three touchdowns while completing 76.5% of his passes.
