A Season-Best Effort from Cael Smith Leads Ashland-Greenwood over Roncalli Catholic
On Friday, Ashland-Greenwood got the W thanks in part to Cael Smith playing the best football he has all season. Smith rushed for 157 yards and three touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Ashland-Greenwood's win was their ninth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Smith will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Brownell Talbot on Friday.

Roncalli Catholic moved to 4-3 with that loss, which also ended their three-game winning streak. Post and Roncalli Catholic will take on Boys Town at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
