CSFL

Navy v Cornell-Navy win 49-0

Player of the game: Soph RB Hunter Gennicks 158yards 3TD

Navy won their home opener in convincing fashion. A strong running game proved to be too much for Cornell to handle. Sr QB Luke Wagner threw for 144yards 1td 1int. The strength of the team this day was once again the rushing attack led by Soph RB Hunter Gennicks. The star sophomore led the team with 158yards 3TD.

Cornell was not able to get anything going on either side of the ball. The Cornell offense only generated 99 positive yards. 93 of those yards came through the air but the 5 interceptions did not help their cause.

Army opened up their season with a big win over CHC. Soph QB Kyle West had the best game of his young career throwing for 220yards 4TD. The young QB should be due for a great season in his first year as the starting QB. The Army rushing attack was just as potent. Soph RB Arthur Lavalais led the team with 136yards 1TD.

Sr WR Ben Deloit led the team with 10rec 94yards and Sr WR Devon Brown had the best game of his career finishing with 3rec 88yards 3TD. On the defensive side of the ball Jr LB Louis Petkus led the team with 11tk 1tfl. Sr DB Sean Cuffe was the leader in the secondary. The Sr had 4tk 1int 1pbu.

Sr WR Jake Wang had his best game since his 2022 season finishing with 5rec 93yards 1TD.

STAC v Molloy- STAC win 59-7

Player of the game: Sr WR Jayden Bennermon 5rec 85yards 3TD

STAC started off slow only scoring 3 points in the first quarter. But once the Spartans got things going then the flood gates opened. Sr QB Ryan Kenny threw for 117yards 3TD 1int. The passing game hasn’t been off to the start the Spartans would have hoped for but if this game is a sign of things to come then STAC should be in a good place as they approach the midpoint of their season.

Bellarmine v Midway-Bellarmine win 49-15

Player of the game: Fr QB Kyle Horvath 366yards 5TD

Bellarmine was in a dog fight with Midway in the first half. A tight 9-9 score made it look like this would be a defensive battle going down the stretch. However, that wasn’t the case because in the 2nd half the Knights out scored Midway 40-6. Fr QB Kyle Horvath had a record setting day throwing for 366yards 5TD.

Midway has shown that they are capable of hanging with the best teams in the league in the first half. But once again they fell apart in the second half.
