<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 3 is in the books in Western New York and here are several players that are making names for themselves.

Because they did most of their damage running the ball, not much attention was given to him. But in week 3, the Wildcats played host to class B powerhouse, Lackawanna. Although the Steelers would run away with a commanding win, it was an extremely competitive first half where Kole threw 4 touchdowns. Szratter would end the night with 258 yards passing and add a forced fumble on defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1649124"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1474838,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f1045dc032a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1649124' first='Aiden' last='Hopwood'] was the main beneficiary to Szratter's breakout game as he caught 6 of his 13 completions for 148 yards and 2 TDs.
