Seven Rivers Christian didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. It was truly a group effort as Zoey Houle, Annalise DeBeer, and Mariella DeBeer picked up one apiece. Annalise is crushing it when it comes to interceptions: she's snagged at least one every time she's taken the field this season.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Hernando). They blew past Crystal River 40-0 on Wednesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.

Seven Rivers Christian pushed their record up to 4-0 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 6.8 points on average over those games. As for Hernando, the win was the third in a row for them, bringing their record for this year to 5-1.

Seven Rivers Christian couldn't quite finish off Hernando in their previous matchup back in March of 2024 and fell 24-21. Can Seven Rivers Christian avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
