Big Game from Zachrich As Reynolds Won 43-8

Gabriel Minjarez Makes It Three for Reynolds
Another Reynolds player making an appearance on this list is Gabriel Minjarez. He rushed for 77 yards and two touchdowns.
Kennedy Catholic's probably not too fond of Minjarez given he always seems to get the better of them. When Minjarez last faced the back in September of 2023, he rushed for 178 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries, and also caught a touchdown.
