Clever had to skate by with only a three-point margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 22-point drubbing they dealt Buffalo on Friday. The Blue Jays put the hurt on the Bison with a sharp 48-26 win. The high-flying offensive performance was a huge turnaround for the Blue Jays considering their 13-point performance the game before.
Quintin Lemmer was nothing short of spectacular: he rushed for 131 yards and a pair of scores on only 13 carries.
Special teams also played a big role in the game for Clever, adding 12 points to the final score. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Trenton Allen, who ran a kickoff back for a touchdown.
Meanwhile, Hollister took a blow against Strafford on Friday, falling 48-18.
Clever's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 5-1. The home wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 13.0 points on average over those games. As for Hollister, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-3 record this season.
Clever strolled past Hollister in their previous meeting back in October of 2024 by a score of 28-12. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Blue Jays since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
