A Season-Best Effort from Noel Velazquez Leads Maxwell over Quincy
On Friday, Maxwell got the W thanks in part to Noel Velazquez playing the best football he has all season. Velazquez rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns while completing 84.2% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 59 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Quincy had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Velazquez it was a similar story. When Velazquez last faced the Trojans back in October of 2023, he rushed for 77 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 163 yards and a touchdown while completing 75% of his passes.

Williams was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Alex Hernandez did his best to prevent it. Hernandez was dynamite, punching in a rushing score.
Williams is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-4. Hernandez will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Hamilton on Friday.
