Cantwell Came Up Big in Donahue Catholic's 29-28 Loss

Cantwell is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Foundation Christian Academy on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Cantwell saw the Panthers), he rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns.

Geneva Classical Academy found a leader in Clay Lindsay as the team took down Academy at the Lakes on Friday. Lindsay was unstoppable, making four total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Geneva Classical Academy's win bumped their record up to 7-2. Lindsay will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Babcock on Friday.

Luke Misek Makes It Two for Donahue Catholic
The second Donahue Catholic player making an appearance here is Luke Misek, and for good reason.

On the year, Misek has averaged 97.4 passing yards per game.
