Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Muenster to victory, but perhaps none more so than Casen Carney, who rushed for 119 yards and one score. That's the most rushing yards Carney has posted since back in October. Carter Heller was in the mix too, providing Muenster with two touchdowns.

Muenster didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Albany to a completion percentage of just 28.6%. The team can thank Simon Johnson for the heroic effort on defense: he. Sadly, that's becoming something of a trend for Muenster; they were averaging 75.8%completion percentage earlier this season, but in their last three matchups they've fallen to only 0% (which corresponds perfectly with their time in the postseason).

Muenster didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off five passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Titan Binder and Maverick Bayer. Binder is also on a roll when it comes to defended passes, as he's now defended at least one in each of the last three games he's played.

Collinsville typically has all the answers at home, but on Friday Lindsay proved too difficult a challenge. They secured a 29-23 W over the Pirates. The game was the first time the Knights have beaten the Pirates on their field since September 25, 2020.

Muenster's record is now 11-2. As for Lindsay, their record now sits at an identical 11-2.

Everything went Muenster's way against Lindsay in their previous meeting back in October, as Muenster made off with a 49-28 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Hornets since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
