Ryder Brownstein was his usual excellent self, picking up 206 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Brentwood School is undefeated when Brownstein posts two or more receiving touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Another reason for the win was Brentwood School's imposing defensive line, which managed to get into the backfield for 5.5 sacks. Grace's QB won't forget Cade Brownstein anytime soon given he sacked him twice. Another thorn in Grace's side was Jack Kripke, who picked up 1.5 sacks and made seven total tackles (2.0 for loss).
When it comes to explaining why Grace lost, don't look at Ethan Lasecla. Despite the final result, he rushed for 305 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 13.3 yards per carry, and also threw for 276 yards and a touchdown. Lasecla showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 62 yards. 82 of those passing yards were hauled in by Aidan Kolesar, who also brought in a receiving touchdown.
Brentwood School's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 6-2. As for Grace, their loss dropped their record down to 4-3.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Brentwood School will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Rio Hondo Prep at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th. As for Grace, they and Nordhoff are set to duel on Friday. Nordhoff's defense has only allowed 11.3 points per game this season, so Grace's offense will have their work cut out for them.
