Catholic AA I Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Friday through Sunday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Performance from Tommy Digregorio Leads St. Joseph-By-The-Sea over Xaverian
Tommy Digregorio produced his most outstanding game to date while leading St. Joseph-by-the-Sea to the win on Friday. Digregorio rushed for 273 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.0 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 70-yard run.
St. Joseph-by-the-Sea has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matches, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Digregorio and St. Joseph-by-the-Sea will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against St. John the Baptist at 1:30 p.m. on October 26th.

Marco Aruta Goes Supernova in St. Peter's Victory
St. Peter found a leader in Marco Aruta as the team took down Archbishop Stepinac on Friday. Aruta turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 87 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, while also picking up 51 receiving yards and a touchdown.
If history really does repeat itself, Aruta might just drop another big game when he faces off against Fordham Prep on Saturday. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Aruta saw the Rams), he rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries.

Jonathan Bailey Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Jonathan Bailey posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 103 yards on only seven carries, and also threw for 127 yards and a touchdown.
Bailey and Fordham Prep will head out to square off against St. Peter's at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. The match will pit Bailey up against the Eagles' star QB Marco Aruta. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.
