Football Recap: Make It Eight in a Row for Crean Lutheran

The Saints claimed a resounding 56-21 win over the Highlanders. The Saints' offense stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most points they've scored all season.

Caden Jones was his usual excellent self, throwing for 322 yards and five TDs while completing 86.4% of his passes, and also rushing for 37 yards. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in passer rating (165.7). Caleb Bey was another key player, rushing for 116 yards and a pair of scores on only 12 carries.

La Habra's loss came despite a true team effort from the offense with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was DJ Mitchell, who threw for 230 yards and two touchdowns. A healthy portion of that aerial production (125 yards to be exact) went to Blake (Blaze) Rogers.
