Dierre Hill Jr Goes Supernova in Althoff Catholic Win
Althoff Catholic picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Dierre Hill Jr. Granite City had no answer to Hill Jr as he rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 72 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Hill Jr must have Granite City's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Hill Jr saw the Warriors), he rushed for 168 yards and two touchdowns.
