Jeremiah Duhu Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Beaumont got the W thanks in part to Jeremiah Duhu playing the best football he has all season. Duhu threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes, and also rushed for 54 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
The victory was the third in a row for Beaumont, bringing their record for this year to 6-1. Duhu and Beaumont will be playing at home against Citrus Valley at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Big Game from Powell As Cajon Won 47-0
Cajon found a leader in Evan Powell as the squad took down Redlands East Valley on Thursday. Nobody could stop Powell as he threw for 288 yards and five touchdowns on only 19 passes.
Redlands East Valley's probably not too fond of Powell given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Powell saw the Wildcats), he threw for 224 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 79 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
