It is hard not to bring up [player_tooltip player_id='322427' first='Braydon' last='Durham'] every week but he deserves the recognition. Braydon had 3 TDs in the first half and ended up with 13 tackles on the night. [player_tooltip player_id='533140' first='Jett' last='Goldsberry'] led the team in rushing yards with 97 yards on just 3 carries and had 2 TDs. [player_tooltip player_id='553032' first='Hunter' last='Meredith'] was another ball carrier with a great game and he had 4 carries for 75 yards. There was not a lot of passing done by the Patriots but [player_tooltip player_id='1178520' first='Tyler' last='Ruxer'] ended up with 2 receptions and 73 yards. 2025 LB Parker Hart ended up with 9 tackles and 2 TFLs on the night.

North Posey had put the game away by then and dominated for the second straight week. When I talked about North Posey, the names Liam Stone and [player_tooltip player_id='196689' first='Jed' last='Galvin'] resonates.

Sophomore RB Jaxon Lueken led the team in rushing with 74 yards on 6 carries and had 1 TD. Junior RB Tyler Fetter had his share of the ball 5 times and had 66 yards. Defensively, Junior LB Bryson Frick led the team in tackles with 9 and flew around to the ball all night.
