Ellwood City Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Kaden Docchio
Kaden Docchio's big game helped extend Ellwood City's winning streak to seven on Friday. Nobody could stop Docchio as he picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made seven total tackles. He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made seven or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Docchio might just drop another big game when he faces off against Union Area on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Docchio saw the Scotties), he picked up two sacks and made ten total tackles.

On the year, O'Brien has averaged 8.1 total tackles per game and for the season has 5.5 sacks. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging five total tackles per game.
