Cael Smith Delivers Best Effort of Season

A Season-Best Effort from Jackson Post Leads Roncalli Catholic over Ashland-Greenwood
On Friday, Roncalli Catholic had to settle for second even though Jackson Post put up the best numbers he has all season. Post picked up 134 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 83 yards.
Post will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Boys Town on Friday. The matchup will pit Post up against the Cowboys' star pass catcher Nyree Poteet. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Nyree Poteet Dazzles in Boys Town Win
Keeping Williams company is Nyree Poteet, a fellow Boys Town player. He rushed for 89 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, and also threw for 136 yards on six of 13 attempts.
If history really does repeat itself, Poteet might just drop another big game when he faces off against Roncalli Catholic on Friday. Poteet picked up 162 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Crimson Pride duked it out back in September of 2023.

Lucas Post Turns in Season-Best Effort
