Juan Aldas Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Saturday, Wilmington Charter got the W thanks in part to Juan Aldas playing the best football he has all season. Aldas picked up a sack and made 16 total tackles (3.0 for loss), good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Aldas might have his next game, a road matchup with Delcastle Technical, circled on his calendar. When Aldas last faced the Cougars back in October of 2023, he picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made 15 total tackles (4.0 for loss).

Smith Posts Huge Game in 25-12 Defeat
While Glasgow might've come up empty on Friday, Jamar Smith wasn't going down without a fight. Smith turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 140 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.8 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 90-yard run.
Glasgow dropped their record down to 1-6 with the loss, which was their fourth straight on the road dating back to last season. Smith and Glasgow will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on DuPont at 6:00 p.m. on October 25th.
