Kaden Rakers' Big Game Leads Breese Central over Columbia
Breese Central picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Kaden Rakers. Rakers was unstoppable, picking up 54 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 44 yards and a touchdown.
Rakers must have Columbia's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Rakers last faced the Eagles back in October of 2023, he rushed for 175 yards and three touchdowns, and also picked up 62 receiving yards.

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Mason Crump stepped things up a notch to give Roxana the 'W'. Crump was unstoppable, making 12 total tackles.
This season, Crump has averaged 2.1 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 13.13 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 75.25 rushing yards.
