Jaedan Cobb Crosses Big Stat Threshold

He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (111) per game. His longest rush was for an incredible 70 yards.

Crosby's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Kalib Shaw
Crosby's seven-game losing streak dating back to last season is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Kalib Shaw. Shaw did his part (and then some), picking up two sacks and making 15 total tackles for the 'W'. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Shaw is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Watertown on Saturday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Shaw saw the Indians), he picked up a sack and made 15 total tackles.
Gamescore: 40.30
Myers Posts Huge Game in 56-29 Defeat

Having lost for the first time this season, Waterbury Career Academy fell to 3-1. They and Holy Cross are set to duel on Friday.
