A Season-Best Performance from Alex Waterfield Leads Bishop Mcguinness over Pine Lake Prep
Bishop McGuinness was led to victory by Alex Waterfield, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Waterfield threw for 267 yards and three touchdowns while completing 74.1% of his passes, and also rushed for 93 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in November of 2023. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 58 yards.
