Mekhi Simmons Turns in Season-Best Effort
Bishop Eustace Prep was led to victory by Mekhi Simmons, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Simmons rushed for 216 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in August. His longest rush was for an incredible 78 yards.
Simmons must have Wildwood's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Simmons saw the Warriors), he rushed for 129 yards and a touchdown.

A Season-Best Effort from Roman Faiola Leads Bishop Eustace Prep over Wildwood
On Friday, Bishop Eustace Prep got the W thanks in part to Roman Faiola playing the best football he has all season. Faiola rushed for 46 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 111 yards and a touchdown on only seven passes. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023.
For the year, Faiola has thrown 2 touchdowns while averaging 57.9 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 4.86 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 100.34 passer rating.
