Brody Zemba Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Bishop Rosecrans got the W thanks in part to Brody Zemba playing the best football he has all season. Zemba rushed for 246 yards and four touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also picked up 114 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 65 yards.
The victory was the third in a row for Bishop Rosecrans, bringing their record for this year to 5-3. Zemba and Bishop Rosecrans will be playing in front of their home fans against Miller at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
