Northwestern Gets a Boost from Strawder in 24-21 Loss

Hunter Boyd Makes Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is Hunter Boyd of St. Brendan. Boyd made two total tackles.
St. Brendan has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four games, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-3 record this season. Boyd and St. Brendan will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Immaculata-La Salle at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.
