The Cathedral Phantoms will play host again on Friday to welcome the Narbonne Gauchos, where kickoff is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. Both are strolling into their matches after big wins in their previous games.
Cathedral will bounce into Friday's matchup after beating Chaminade, who they hadn't topped in three consecutive meetings. Everything went Cathedral's way against Chaminade on Friday as Cathedral made off with a 35-14 win. While the Phantoms didn't have the best season last year (they finished 4-6), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Cathedral to victory, but perhaps none more so than Jaden Jefferson, who threw for 188 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 37 yards. Quentin Hale was Jefferson's top target, picking up 93 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Cathedral's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged three passes before it was all said and done. It was truly a group effort as Sean Brooks, Faruq Muhammad, and James Lawyer picked up one apiece. Another thorn in Chaminade's side was Malachi Kindle, who picked up a sack and made ten total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Narbonne). They breezed by Venice at home to the tune of 55-7 on Friday. Given the Gauchos' advantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 189th, while the Gondoliers are ranked 729th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Narbonne can attribute much of their success to Michael Ashford, who picked up 152 receiving yards.
Cathedral's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 4-0. As for Narbonne, the win also got them back to even at 2-2.
