Theophilus (Theo) Setzer Delivers Electric Performance Vs Red Springs
Theophilus (Theo) Setzer was a major factor in St. Pauls's win over Red Springs on Friday. Setzer turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 201 yards and three touchdowns on only 17 passes, while also rushing for 96 yards on only nine carries. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 55 yards.
On the season, Setzer has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 129.9 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he had six passing touchdowns.

St. Pauls Gets a Boost from Mcbryde in 44-6 Win
Another St. Pauls player making an appearance on this list is Yoshua Mcbryde. He rushed for 85 yards and two touchdowns.
