On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Central Catholic's defense and their 3.5 sacks. Zach Mehdi refused to say out of the backfield, picking up 1.5 sacks all by himself. Central Catholic got some further help from Mehdi: he picked up 1.5 sacks, made eight total tackles (3.5 for loss), and defended one pass.
