Sean Keegan Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Sean Keegan posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead St. Charles East over Batavia on Friday. Keegan rushed for 71 yards and a touchdown. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 72-yard run.
St. Charles East has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four games, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-5 record this season. Keegan and St. Charles East will be playing in front of their home fans against Geneva at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Talyn Taylor and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Talyn Taylor's big game helped extend Geneva's winning streak to seven on Friday. Taylor turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 157 receiving yards and a touchdown. He was no stranger to the big play, cutting upfield on a catch that went for 58 yards.

Nathan Whitwell Makes It Two for Batavia
Another Batavia player making an appearance on this list is Nathan Whitwell. He rushed for 54 yards and two touchdowns.
Whitwell must have St. Charles East's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Whitwell last faced the Fighting Saints back in October of 2023, he rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
