Marco Aruta Goes Supernova in St. Peter's Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Marco Aruta stepped things up a notch to give St. Peter the 'W'. Nobody could stop Aruta as he rushed for 87 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, and also picked up 51 receiving yards and a touchdown.
If history really does repeat itself, Aruta might just drop another big game when he faces off against Fordham Prep on Saturday. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Aruta saw the Rams), he rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries.

Jonathan Bailey Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Jonathan Bailey posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 103 yards on only seven carries, and also threw for 127 yards and a touchdown.
Bailey and Fordham Prep are taking a road trip to square off against St. Peter's at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. Bailey will face off against Marco Aruta, the Eagles' star quarterback. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
