Cathedral at Brownsburg Week 2 Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There's a huge early-season matchup brewing this week as 2 of the top programs are set to clash this Friday at 7 pm.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Brownsburg</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Bulldogs are anchored by their upperclassmen who got work as underclassmen. Offensively, [player_tooltip player_id='709552' first='Oscar' last='Frye'] is the full-time starter now, and he's more than ready. He looked good in Week 1, completing 68% of his passes for 252 yards and 2 TDs, and added 1 TD on the ground. It wasn't anything special, but he was locked in right off the rip and should be set for week 2.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shakovon Sumpterbey is quietly one of the better backs in the 2026 class. His 81 yards and 1 TD last week got the ball rolling. Aiden Jobe mixes in with him, giving them a good 1-2 punch. When they start to wear down the offense, they can then easily toss the ball to [player_tooltip player_id='649033' first='Avin' last='Robinson'], the future Central Michigan Chippewa. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brownsburg's defense is scrappy and energetic. They're led by [player_tooltip player_id='1664899' first='Dami' last='Sowunmi'] and [player_tooltip player_id='857405' first='Drew' last='Bostic'] on the defensive side. Both guys have multiple years of varsity experience. [player_tooltip player_id='857405' first='Drew' last='Bostic'] had 48 tackles last year with 1 interception and 8 passes deflected. [player_tooltip player_id='1664899' first='Dami' last='Sowunmi'] comes off the edge for Brownsburg and consistently gets pressure. He'll lead the Bulldogs' line, and if he's able to be disruptive, they stand a good chance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cathedral</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Irish offense is operated by [player_tooltip player_id='1361233' first='Cameron' last='Koers'], the senior QB who had to wait his turn, but made the most of his opportunities last year and hasn't looked back. The offense wasn't at full strength last week against [player_tooltip player_id='1630653' first='Ben' last='Davis'], but they did just enough to get the win. Koers is smart with the ball, accurate, and has good awareness with a clean pocket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1454117' first='Xavier' last='Dangerfield'] is one of the most explosive backs in the state, and he's always a threat to house it from 80 yards out. He's quick, has good vision, and just gives defenses fits. He rushed for 72 yards last week as [player_tooltip player_id='1630653' first='Ben' last='Davis'] did their best to keep him in check. I think this game comes down to who is the most effective on the ground, and Dangerfield gives Cathedral that chance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cathedral's defense is anchored by its 3 senior linebackers. [player_tooltip player_id='1702990' first='Gannon' last='Knowles'], [player_tooltip player_id='401653' first='Kyle' last='Harden'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1307158' first='Alex' last='Couch'] hold down the second. Knowles is a physical LB who can come downhill and impact the run. [player_tooltip player_id='401653' first='Kyle' last='Harden'] is good in coverage and has no issue keeping his guy in phase. [player_tooltip player_id='1307158' first='Alex' last='Couch'] is in his first year starting but looked good on Friday and wasn't afraid to crash the line when he needed to.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Game Details:</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cathedral @ Brownsburg</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kickoff @ 7 PM ET</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>1000 S Odell St, Brownsburg, IN 46112</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Weather: 66 degrees and mostly sunny</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
