Pote Made His Presence Known in BVCHEA Homeschool's 51-36 Defeat
Charlie Pote's rushing tear continued on Saturday as he dropped his tenth-straight game with 120+ rushing yards. He rushed for 220 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.9 yards per carry, and also threw for 164 yards and three touchdowns.
Pote must have Gloria Deo Academy's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Pote rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, and also threw for 92 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Lions duked it out back in November of 2023.

A Season-Best Performance from Caleb Ross Leads Gloria Deo Academy over BVCHEA Homeschool
On Saturday, Gloria Deo Academy got the W thanks in part to Caleb Ross playing the best football he has all season. Ross rushed for 153 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also threw for 101 yards and two touchdowns on only six passes. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making 14 total tackles and defending a pass.
This season, Ross has thrown 9 touchdowns while averaging 65.7 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 0.29 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 65 rushing yards.

Unfortunately for BVCHEA HomeSchool, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Chandler. When Chandler last faced the Mustangs back in November of 2023, he rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown.
