City View didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Henrietta to a completion percentage of just 40%. That dominant aerial defense primarily came from three players: Williams, Collier, and Marcus Campos, who each logged one passes deflected. City View wasn't nearly as limited: they posted one of 68.8%.
City View's defense also made the game a nightmare for Chaden Clark, racking up seven sacks. Henrietta's QB won't forget Nick Herring anytime soon given he sacked him twice. Keylan Marks was another major factor on D, picking up a sack, forcing one fumble, and making 14 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Holliday's victory bumped their record up to 6-1. As for City View, their win bumped their record up to 5-2.
