Logan Doughty Delivers Best Effort of Season
Logan Doughty produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Miller to the win on Friday.

The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 67 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Doughty might just drop another big game when he faces off against Bishop Rosecrans on Friday. Doughty rushed for 225 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.7 yards per carry the last time he and the Bishops duked it out back in October of 2023.

Big Game from Perdue As Bishop Rosecrans Won 49-14
Hayden Perdue posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He threw for 187 yards and three touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Bishop Rosecrans's success: when he posts at least three passing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
On the season, Perdue has thrown 15 touchdowns while averaging 131.9 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 4.14 rushing yards.
