Legend Williams Turns in Season-Best Effort
Legend Williams produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory to the win on Saturday. Williams rushed for 158 yards and two touchdowns. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023. He has become a key player for Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 0-3 otherwise.
Unfortunately for Archbishop Mitty, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Williams. When Williams last faced the Monarchs back in September of 2023, he rushed for 167 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.6 yards per carry.
