Dierre Hill Jr's Big Game Leads Althoff Catholic over Granite City
Althoff Catholic picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Dierre Hill Jr. Granite City had no answer to Hill Jr as he rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 72 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Unfortunately for Granite City, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Hill Jr. Hill Jr rushed for 168 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Warriors duked it out back in October of 2023.

Devin Habermehl Delivers Best Performance of Season
Sadly, Devin Habermehl posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Collinsville over Cahokia on Friday. Habermehl made 23 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
For the year, Habermehl has averaged 9.5 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging four receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 15.38 receiving yards.
