Chadwick has won eight straight games at home (dating back to last season), while Cate has won eight straight on the road also dating back to last season, but those streaks won't matter much on Saturday. The Chadwick Dolphins will host the Cate Rams at 2:00 p.m. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.
Last Friday, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Chadwick beat St. Joseph Academy 34-30.
Chadwick's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Bryson Edgar led the charge by throwing for 139 yards and four touchdowns, while also rushing for 78 yards on only ten carries. The dominant performance gave Edgar a new career-high in rushing yards.
Chadwick wouldn't let St. Joseph Academy keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Chadwick can thank Chet Major and Asher Goldberg for forcing both of them. Another thorn in St. Joseph Academy's side was Michael Schnabel, who picked up a sack and made 16 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, Cate had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They strolled past Valley Christian Academy with points to spare back in August, taking the game 40-21.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Cate to victory, but perhaps none more so than Quinn Pullen, who rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 44 yards and a touchdown. The bulk of thoserushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 56 yards. Another player making a difference was Joba Samsom, who rushed for 84 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries.
Cate'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 Oliver Charvel and Johnny Foster. Foster is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made nine or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season. Cate got some further help from Henry Bouma: he picked up three sacks and made nine total tackles (4.0 for loss).
Chadwick was able to grind out a solid victory over Cate in their previous matchup back in September of 2023, winning 27-18. Will Chadwick repeat their success, or does Cate have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
