Andrew Casagrande Delivers Best Performance of Season
Pearce was led to victory by Andrew Casagrande, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Casagrande picked up 187 receiving yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 106 yards and two touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, lighting up the secondary with a catch that went for 52 yards.
Dallas Jesuit's probably not too fond of Casagrande given he always seems to get the better of them. Casagrande rushed for 160 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 88 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Rangers duked it out back in September of 2023.
