Perhaps even more impressive was his lead-up to Friday's contest, in which he outscored his previous point total for three consecutive games.

Juan Aldas Delivers Best Effort of Season
Wilmington Charter was led to victory by Juan Aldas, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Saturday. 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.
Aldas might have his next game, a road matchup with Delcastle Technical, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Aldas saw the Cougars), he picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made 15 total tackles (4.0 for loss).

Smith Made His Presence Known in Glasgow's 25-12 Defeat
While Jamar Smith delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Glasgow. Smith turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 140 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.8 yards per carry. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 90 yards.
Glasgow's defeat was their fourth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 1-6. Smith and Glasgow will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on DuPont at 6:00 p.m. on October 25th.
