A Season-Best Effort from Elijah Newman Hall Leads Blake over Brandon

Griffin 2026 Qb Posts Huge Game in 42-0 Victory
Will Griffin 2026 Qb was instrumental in extending Jesuit's winning streak to four on Thursday. Griffin 2026 Qb did his part (and then some), throwing for 176 yards and three touchdowns for the 'W'.
Jesuit is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 6-3 record this season. Their road trip will continue as they head out to face Clearwater at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Aljavonnie Daymon Has Career-Day on Thursday
Aljavonnie Daymon posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Thursday. He rushed for 134 yards while picking up 7.9 yards per carry.
This year, Daymon has averaged 79.4 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 20.6 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 59.4 rushing yards.

Mikey Vernon Turns in Season-Best Performance
Mikey Vernon produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Jesuit to the win on Thursday. Vernon picked up 125 receiving yards and a touchdown. He has become a key player for Jesuit: the team is 5-1 when he posts at least 80 receiving yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
On the year, Vernon has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 50.2 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 18.92
Big Game from Deboue As Blake Won 37-0
The second Blake player making an appearance here is Quentin Deboue, and for good reason. He rushed for 75 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
Brandon's probably not too fond of Deboue given he always seems to get the better of them. Deboue picked up 54 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in two touchdowns on the ground the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in September of 2023.
