On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Elbert's defense and their five sacks. Jeremiah LaChausse was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up four himself. He has been hot, having also posted six or more total tackles the last five times he's played. Elbert received some extra help from Cole Nay, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Calhan). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat Swink 44-0. The Bulldogs have beaten the Lions the last three times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Lions has come to flipping the script.

Elbert's victory bumped their record up to 3-1. As for Calhan, the win got them back to even at 2-2.

Elbert came up short against Calhan in their previous matchup back in November of 2024, falling 48-44. Will Elbert have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
