Last Friday, St. Bonaventure strolled past Birmingham with points to spare, taking the game 41-27. Given the Seraphs' advantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 30th, while the Patriots are ranked 103rd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Koen Glover was nothing short of spectacular: he rushed for 174 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.7 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown. Kaden Glover was another key player, rushing for 39 yards and a touchdown.

St. Bonaventure's defense stepped up as well, laying out the QB three times. In that department, Matthew Perez was the leader with two sacks. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up two sacks and making seven total tackles (3.0 for loss).

Meanwhile, Archbishop Riordan had to kick off their season on the road on Friday, but they showed no ill effects. They slipped by McClymonds 35-34.

St. Bonaventure beat Archbishop Riordan 24-14 in their previous meeting back in September of 2023. Does St. Bonaventure have another victory up their sleeve, or will Archbishop Riordan turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
