Christmas has become a key player for the Demons: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least 80 rushing yards, but 1-3 otherwise.

Dysart didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Shadow Mountain to a completion percentage of just 41.9%. The team can thank Connor Stogner for the heroic effort on defense: he. Dysart hasn't an opponent to post a completion percentage of 0.52 or higher in three consecutive games.

Meanwhile, Kingman got their first taste of in-conference action last Friday and they started things off strong. They walked away with a 21-13 victory over Odyssey Institute.
Dysart better keep an eye on D'ANTHONY BUSH. He was instrumental in Kingman's win, rushing for 110 yards and one score, while also throwing for 77 yards and one touchdown.

Dysart took their victory against Kingman in their previous meeting back in October of 2020 by a conclusive 58-38 score. Will the Demons repeat their success, or do the Bulldogs have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
