Logan Mael Makes It Two for Englewood
Keeping Robinson company is Logan Mael, a fellow Englewood player. He picked up 61 receiving yards and a touchdown.
For the season, Mael has caught those 1 touchdown while averaging 27.7 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.67 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 50.5 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 30.92
Joaquin Aviles was a major factor in Elizabeth's victory over Bennett on Friday. Aviles was unstoppable, throwing for 109 yards and three touchdowns on only six passes, while also rushing for 72 yards. His longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Elizabeth's win was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 5-2. Aviles and Elizabeth will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Englewood at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
