Jupiter Christian relied on the efforts of Dorian Fauntleroy, who rushed for 53 yards and one score on only six carries, and Randolph Jr Wilkerson, who rushed for 125 yards and a pair of TDs. Jr Wilkerson is also crushing it when it comes to rushing touchdowns: he's punched in at least two every time he's taken the field this season.

Jupiter Christian didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Master's Academy to a completion percentage of just 21.7%. That dominant aerial defense primarily came from two players: Quintin White Jr and Travis King, who each logged two passes deflected. Jupiter Christian has been improving in that area: they had allowed a completion percentage of 0.63 earlier this season, but they've only allowed one of 0.63 in their last three games.
Jupiter Christian didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off four passes before the game was over. White Jr led the group effort, picking up two of those interceptions all by himself.
