College Park didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Desmond Cobb.

Northgate didn't have too much breathing room in their game against College Park in their previous matchup back in October of 2023, but they still walked away with a 31-27 victory. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was College Park's Hunter Pelayo, who rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.1 yards per carry.
