Theophilus (Theo) Setzer Dazzles in St. Pauls Victory
St. Pauls found a leader in Theophilus (Theo) Setzer as the team took down Red Springs on Friday. Nobody could stop Setzer as he threw for 201 yards and three touchdowns on only 17 passes, and also rushed for 96 yards on only nine carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 55 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the year, Setzer has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 129.9 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had six passing touchdowns.

Jakhi Purcell Makes It Two for St. Pauls

Big Game from Mcbryde As St. Pauls Won 44-6
Another St. Pauls player making an appearance on this list is Yoshua Mcbryde. He rushed for 85 yards and two touchdowns.
Red Springs had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Mcbryde it was a similar story. Mcbryde rushed for 97 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries the last time he and the Red Devils duked it out back in September of 2023.
