Gary Merrill's rushing production has been exceptional for a while as that marked his ninth straight game with at least 116 rushing yards. That makes it nine consecutive games in which he has scored at least a quarter of St. Anthony's points. On the season, Merrill has thrown 17 touchdowns while averaging 143.8 passing yards per game.
Merrill and St. Anthony's will be playing at home against Cardinal Hayes at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. The Friars got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Cardinals, probably because Merrill had a solid game then too: he rushed for 188 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.2 yards per carry, and also threw for 140 yards and two touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes. Can he match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more football content.
