Colton Klein Turns in Another Game with at Least Three Passing Touchdowns
Colton Klein produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Swan Valley to the win on Friday. Klein wasn't messing around, throwing for 370 yards and five touchdowns while completing 88.9% of his passes. The matchup was his third straight with three or more passing touchdowns. Swan Valley is 4-1 when Klein posts 250 or more passing yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
Unfortunately for Alma, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Klein. Klein threw for 147 yards and four touchdowns on only 11 passes, and also rushed for 67 yards on only nine carries the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in October of 2023.

Dominick Knezek Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
On Friday, Garber got the W thanks in part to Dominick Knezek playing the best football he has all season. Knezek rushed for 200 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.3 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Garber's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 1-4 when he doesn't).

Delisle Made His Presence Known in Swan Valley's 45-13 Win
Swan Valley picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Cal Delisle. Delisle turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 138 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Swan Valley's success: when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
Alma had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Delisle it was a similar story. When Delisle last faced the Panthers back in October of 2023, he picked up 124 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
