Chase Jansen Delivers Best Effort of Season

Hill Jr Came Up Big in Althoff Catholic's 56-6 Win
Dierre Hill Jr was instrumental in extending Althoff Catholic's winning streak to eight on Friday. Hill Jr was unstoppable, rushing for 111 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, while also picking up 72 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Granite City's probably not too fond of Hill Jr given he always seems to get the better of them. Hill Jr rushed for 168 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Warriors duked it out back in October of 2023.
