A Season-Best Performance from Legend Williams Leads Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory over Archbishop Mitty
On Saturday, Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory got the W thanks in part to Legend Williams playing the best football he has all season. Williams rushed for 158 yards and two touchdowns. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023. He has become a key player for Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 0-3 otherwise.
Unfortunately for Archbishop Mitty, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Williams. When Williams last faced the Monarchs back in September of 2023, he rushed for 167 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.6 yards per carry.
