10 Episcopal (BR) vs. ML King Charter (NOLA) eye-catchers

Episcopal (Baton Rouge) allowed Martin Luther King Charter (New Orleans) a long touchdown early, but then shut down its guests the rest of the way and rattled off 50 unanswered points.   The No. 11 Knights topped the No. 22 Jaguars, 50-6, for their largest playoff win since 2019 to set up a second-round trip to No. 6 Bunkie in the Division-III Select bracket.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LChFPs5WF8 </div></figure>   Kareem Badawi | 6-4, 225 DL | Episcopal (2024)   Badawi stood out with notable size on the Knights' front and, along with fellow senior Ethan Ott, helped lead a pass-rush that frequently disrupted the Jaguars' efforts and timing in attempting to get the ball to their speedy playmakers.   Matthew Boagni | 5-9, 170 OL | Episcopal (2025)   and Jake Duval | 5-10, 180 OL | Episcopal (2026)   The Knights' younger linemen played well alongside their senior leaders Preston Pontif, James Thom and Will York to help control the line of scrimmage — and beyond, with Boagni and Duval quick and active pulling and getting up to linebackers and safeties or to the outside to help spring longer runs.   TJ Callahan | 6-0 DB/ATH | Episcopal (2024)   The older of a pair of Callahan brothers on the Knights' roster made a few nice plays in the secondary breaking up passes with not only his athleticism and timing on balls in the air, but also his physicality to force drops with his contact. T.J. has garnered some college attention as a springy, explosive guard on the basketball court and has started to see his football recruitment pick up a bit of late as well.   [player_tooltip player_id='1089750' first='Reid' last='Chauvin'] | 6-9, 185 RB | Episcopal (2025)   One of the Knights' predominantly two-headed rushing attack, the junior led the charge between the tackles with more than 100 yards and a late touchdown to cap the performance.   Walker Dauzat | 5-9, 165 ATH | Episcopal (2025)   The senior multisport, multi-phase standout was in full Honey Badger mode on defense flying around for tackles at and behind the line of scrimmage, pass breakups and then a pair of third-quarter interceptions, including a pick-six. And Dauzat made a nice touchdown grab over his shoulder in the second quarter to highlight his offensive performance.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfMRJHeH8HQ </div></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='1221193' first='Christian' last='Doyle'] | 6-3, 185 WR/DB | Martin Luther King (2025)   One of the Jaguar's bright spots on a tough night, Doyle stood out on both sides of the ball as a tall, long athlete who made a nice catch over the middle, snatching the ball one-handed for much of the process of bringing it in, and also played physically and vocally in the box agains the Knights' rushing attack.   [player_tooltip player_id='902137' first='Braeden' last='George'] | 5-10, 180 ATH | Episcopal (2024)   The big, physical back hit running lanes hard, lowered his shoulder through defenders for tough yards — on multiple occasions arguably dishing out more contact than he was taking — and got loose to showcase his speed in the open field, in particular on his early 69-yard touchdown run. He added scoring runs of 2 and 32 yards to help lead the offense.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQt0DrF7Xsw </div></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='1237801' first='Zach' last='Hu'] | 5-10, 175 QB | Episcopal (2026)   The sophomore quarterback managed the game and the stage and circumstances well, playing poised and taking advantage of his opportunities to throw, including a particularly well-placed pass to Dauzat over the top of the defense for the first of his two scores.   Kendall Neveux | ATH | Martin Luther King (2024)   Episcopal coaches and players said they knew to watch out for Neveaux on the first play as the Jaguars had consistently gone to and gotten big plays from the senior to open games. But, still, the Knights couldn't quite corral him as he wound his way loose for a 75-yard score in the opening seconds.
