Tatnall Wins 18th-Straight Thanks to Chris Gordon
Tatnall picked up their 18th consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Chris Gordon. Gordon turned in his biggest game of the season, picking up 205 receiving yards and four touchdowns. Perhaps even more impressive was his lead-up to Friday's game, in which he outscored his previous point total for three consecutive games.
Tatnall pushed their record up to 6-0 with the victory, which was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season. Gordon and Tatnall will venture away from home to face off against DuPont at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Effort from Juan Aldas Leads Wilmington Charter over St. Elizabeth
On Saturday, Wilmington Charter got the W thanks in part to Juan Aldas playing the best football he has all season. Aldas picked up a sack and made 16 total tackles (3.0 for loss), good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
If history really does repeat itself, Aldas might just drop another big game when he faces off against Delcastle Technical on Friday. Aldas picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made 15 total tackles (4.0 for loss) the last time he and the Cougars duked it out back in October of 2023.

Smith Came Up Big in Glasgow's 25-12 Defeat
Glasgow had to settle for second on Friday, but Jamar Smith sure wasn't going down easily. Nobody could stop Smith as he rushed for 140 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.8 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 90-yard run.
Glasgow dropped their record down to 1-6 with the loss, which was their fourth straight on the road dating back to last season. Smith and Glasgow will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on DuPont at 6:00 p.m. on October 25th.
