Eliyjah Caldwell-Hardy Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Impact Christian Academy got the W thanks in part to Eliyjah Caldwell-Hardy playing the best football he has all season. Caldwell-Hardy picked up 97 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 73 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023.
For the season, Caldwell-Hardy has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 55.5 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to four.
Gamescore: 44.87
Mason Williams Delivers Electric Performance Vs KIPP Bold City
Mason Williams was instrumental in extending Providence School's winning streak to five on Friday. Williams was unstoppable, throwing for 200 yards and four touchdowns on only nine passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Williams might have his next game, a road matchup with University Christian, circled on his calendar. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Williams saw the Christians), he rushed for 151 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.9 yards per carry, and also threw for 95 yards and a touchdown.

Hayward Made His Presence Known in Providence School's 42-12 Victory
Providence School picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Samuel Hayward. Hayward did his part (and then some), picking up 2.5 sacks and making five total tackles (5.0 for loss) for the 'W'. He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made five or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Hayward could be in store for another big game when he takes on University Christian on Friday. Hayward picked up two sacks and made 12 total tackles (3.0 for loss) the last time he and the Christians duked it out back in September of 2023.
