Eric Green Delivers Best Performance of Season
Paraclete came up short on Friday despite Eric Green delivering his best game to date. Green picked up 187 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making 11 total tackles and defending two passes.

Jaden Jefferson Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Jaden Jefferson's big game helped extend Cathedral's winning streak to three on Friday. Jefferson made a major impact, throwing for 165 yards and five touchdowns while completing 76.2% of his passes, and also rushing for 57 yards and a touchdown on only six carries. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 3.1 passing touchdowns per game. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Jefferson might just drop another big game when he faces off against St. Francis on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Jefferson saw the Golden Knights), he threw for 201 yards and three touchdowns while completing 74.1% of his passes, and also rushed for 63 yards.

This season, Mesa has thrown 23 touchdowns while averaging 341.2 passing yards per game.
