Tatnall picked up their 18th consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Chris Gordon. Gordon turned in his biggest game of the season, picking up 205 receiving yards and four touchdowns. Perhaps even more impressive was his lead-up to Friday's matchup, in which he outscored his previous point total for three consecutive games.

Juan Aldas Turns in Season-Best Effort
Wilmington Charter was led to victory by Juan Aldas, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Saturday. Aldas picked up a sack and made 16 total tackles (3.0 for loss), good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
If history really does repeat itself, Aldas might just drop another big game when he faces off against Delcastle Technical on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Aldas saw the Cougars), he picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made 15 total tackles (4.0 for loss).

Jamar Smith's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Glasgow over Christiana
Glasgow was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Jamar Smith did his best to prevent it. Smith was dynamite, rushing for 140 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.8 yards per carry. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 90 yards.
Glasgow dropped their record down to 1-6 with the defeat, which was their fourth straight on the road dating back to last season. Smith and Glasgow will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on DuPont at 6:00 p.m. on October 25th.
