Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Cathedral Catholic). They breezed past University City to the tune of 56-7 two weeks ago. The result was nothing new for the Dons, who have now won five games by 28 points or more so far this season.
Mission Hills better focus on containing Logan Jones and Christian Williams as the pair were huge in Cathedral Catholic's win. Jones picked up 104 receiving yards and a pair of TDs, while Williams rushed for 82 yards and one score on only six carries. Jones' longest reception was for an impressive 64 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per catch total.
Cathedral Catholic's run defense was locked in: University City could only muster 3.2 yards per carry. The Dons didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 7.3.
Mission Hills' record is now 9-1. As for Cathedral Catholic, their record now sits at 8-2.
