Kaden Shields-Dutton was the offensive standout of the contest as he rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries. Shields-Dutton hasn't dropped below two rushing touchdowns for six straight games. Sir Semaj Fleming was in the mix as well, providing Edgewater with two touchdowns.

A big part of that defensive dominance came down to Edgewater's ability to keep the quarterback under pressure: the team laid the passer out five times before it was all said and done.
