Theophilus (Theo) Setzer Goes Supernova in St. Pauls Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Theophilus (Theo) Setzer stepped things up a notch to give St. Pauls the 'W'. Nobody could stop Setzer as he threw for 201 yards and three touchdowns on only 17 passes, and also rushed for 96 yards on only nine carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 55 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the year, Setzer has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 129.9 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he had six passing touchdowns.

Jakhi Purcell Makes It Two for St. Pauls

Mcbryde Posts Huge Game in 44-6 Win
Another St. Pauls player making an appearance on this list is Yoshua Mcbryde. He rushed for 85 yards and two touchdowns.
Mcbryde must have Red Springs's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Mcbryde last faced the Red Devils back in September of 2023, he rushed for 97 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries.
