A Season-Best Performance from Brayden Karras Leads Cardinal Gibbons over Enloe

The win was the third in a row for Cardinal Gibbons, bringing their record for this year to 5-1. They and Sanderson are set to duel on Friday.

Goldston Came Up Big in Leesville Road's 56-14 Win
Deiondre Goldston was instrumental in extending Leesville Road's winning streak to seven on Friday. Broughton had no answer to Goldston as he threw for 269 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.2 yards per attempt. Goldston is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Broughton's probably not too fond of Goldston given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Goldston saw the Capitals), he threw for 220 yards and three touchdowns.
