Theophilus (Theo) Setzer's Big Game Leads St. Pauls over Red Springs
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Theophilus (Theo) Setzer stepped things up a notch to give St. Pauls the 'W'. Setzer was unstoppable, 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.
St. Pauls has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Setzer and St. Pauls will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Clinton at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.

St. Pauls Gets a Boost from Mcbryde in 44-6 Victory
Keeping Setzer company is Yoshua Mcbryde, a fellow St. Pauls player. He rushed for 85 yards and two touchdowns.
Mcbryde must have Red Springs's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Mcbryde last faced the Red Devils back in September of 2023, he rushed for 97 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries.
Gamescore: 26.25
While Hezekiah Blanks-Adams delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for West Bladen. Despite the defeat, Blanks-Adams was still balling out as he rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 54 yards.
West Bladen's loss was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 1-5. They and Midway are set to duel on Friday.
