Catholic AA I Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Friday through Sunday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Effort from Tommy Digregorio Leads St. Joseph-By-The-Sea over Xaverian
Tommy Digregorio produced his most outstanding game to date while leading St. Joseph-by-the-Sea to the win on Friday. Digregorio rushed for 273 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.0 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 70-yard run.
St. Joseph-by-the-Sea 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. Digregorio and St. Joseph-by-the-Sea will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on St. John the Baptist at 1:30 p.m. on October 26th.

Marco Aruta Dazzles in St. Peter's Victory
St. Peter found a leader in Marco Aruta as the team took down Archbishop Stepinac on Friday. Archbishop Stepinac had no answer to Aruta as he rushed for 87 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, and also picked up 51 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Aruta is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Fordham Prep on Saturday. When Aruta last faced the Rams back in November of 2023, he rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries.
Gamescore: 34.95
Jonathan Bailey Has Career Rushing Day
Jonathan Bailey posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 103 yards on only seven carries, and also threw for 127 yards and a touchdown.
Bailey and Fordham Prep will venture away from home to challenge St. Peter's at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. Bailey will face off against Marco Aruta, the Eagles' star quarterback. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
