Suggested Video




The St. John's Jesuit Titans will take on the Anthony Wayne Generals at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

St. John's Jesuit might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 35-21 to Wapakoneta, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. While losing is never fun, the Titans can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Ohio football rankings (they are ranked 209th, while the Redskins are ranked 59th).

Meanwhile, Anthony Wayne gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Friday. They blew past Hilliard Darby 35-13. The score at the end of the third wound up being the final score as the Generals just coasted through the last quarter.

Grant Kinnee was a one-man wrecking crew for Anthony Wayne as he rushed for 124 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 7.3 yards per carry, and also threw for 101 yards on ten of 15 attempts. Another player making a difference was Braden Gardner, who rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries.

St. John's Jesuit was dealt a bruising 48-19 defeat at the hands of Anthony Wayne in their previous meeting back in August of 2023. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Kinnee, who rushed for 171 yards on only ten carries, and also threw for 154 yards and two touchdowns. Now that St. John's Jesuit knows the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
