Byers' success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Gabe Price led the charge by rushing for 124 yards and a pair of scores on only 11 carries. Price is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 120 every time he's taken the field this season. James Maes was another key passer, throwing for 93 yards and two touchdowns on perfect 6-for-6 passing.

Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Byers proved: they limited Belleview Christian to a paltry 0.5 yards per carry. The team can thank Eli Cary for the heroic effort on defense: he. Byers didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 7.9.

Byers didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Maes and Cristopher Papaianopol.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask South Park). They narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past Belleview Christian 24-22.

Byers' victory bumped their record up to 3-1. As for South Park, their win (their first of the season) made their record 1-3.

Everything came up roses for Byers against South Park in their previous meeting back in October of 2024, as the squad secured a 78-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bulldogs since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
