Another Wray player making an appearance on this list is Casey Midcap. He rushed for 74 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 106 yards and three touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes.
Holyoke had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Midcap it was a similar story. When Midcap last faced the Dragons back in November of 2023, he rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 62 yards and two touchdowns.

Burlington was led to victory by Weston Schaal, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday.

For the season, Schaal has thrown 4 touchdowns while averaging 64.8 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after five games last season, he was only averaging one rushing yard per game. This year he is averaging 20.8 rushing yards.
