DAH led CBC to an electric 59-48 win. Senior receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1188262' first='Arness' last='Webb'], who also popped last week, is the retriever du jour so far this fall. Underclassmen [player_tooltip player_id='1601023' first='Isaiah' last='Thomas'], [player_tooltip player_id='1752480' first='Don' last='McGhee'] and national prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1222940' first='Kingston' last='McPike'] - also an electric returner - are names to watch. Three young DBs are there to provide air cover - juniors [player_tooltip player_id='1673282' first='Joshua' last='Beasley'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2229038' first='Jakah' last='Cooper'], and soph [player_tooltip player_id='1740562' first='Milton' last='Proctor III'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On the Vianney side, freshman QB [player_tooltip player_id='1591172' first='Harlan' last='Futrell'] faces the first massive test of his young career. He popped for the first time in 2026 versus Ladue with 327 total yards and 4 total touchdowns. He has a pair of two-way horses to distribute the ball to on the perimeter with senior Noah Willams and soph [player_tooltip player_id='1743321' first='Kali' last='Thomas']. On the ground, Futrell has wheels, but also senior [player_tooltip player_id='1198142' first='Robert' last='Eatherton'] , who opened the season with 272 yards and 5 touchdowns versus Lindbergh, is showing no slowing down from last year's season ending injury. Soph [player_tooltip player_id='1910948' first='CJ' last='Fennell'] joins Williams and Thomas in the secondary.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Expecting this to be a spatial showdown of stallions.
