Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Gross Catholic). They took their matchup on Friday with ease, bagging a 49-0 victory over the Brownell Talbot Raiders. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Cougars' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Nebraska football rankings (they are ranked 35th, while the Raiders are ranked 119th).
Robbie Brennan continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 139 yards and four TDs on only 11 carries. He is becoming a predictor of Gross Catholic's success: when he posts at least 100 rushing yards the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't). Colton Sweetmon also deserves some recognition as he punched in his first rushing touchdown of the season.
Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Gross Catholic proved: they limited Brownell Talbot to a paltry 1.9 yards per carry. The team can thank Kyle Mumm for the heroic effort on defense: he. Gross Catholic's run defense has been on the up-and-up: they allowed 4.75 yards per carry earlier this season, but they've only allowed 5.9 on average over their last five games.
Gross Catholic didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off four passes before the game was over. Cole Povondra led the group effort, picking up two of those interceptions all by himself.
The win (which was Gross Catholic's third in a row) raised their record to 5-2. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 30.0 points over those games. As for Brownell Talbot, they now have a losing record of 3-4.
