Charlotte Catholic's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Jon Fijalkowski and John Hucko. Ben Fijalkowski was another major factor on D, picking up a sack, forcing a fumble, and making 17 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, after a string of five wins dating back to last season, Providence Day's good fortune finally ran out two weeks ago. They fell to Weddington 13-7. Having soared to a lofty 55 points in the game before, the Chargers couldn't push the score so high this time.
