GAME OF THE WEEK HOLY TRINITY vs MELBOURNE CENTRAL CATHOLIC

#9 Holy Trinity (6-1) vs #12 Melbourne Central Catholic (5-2): Both teams come into this rivalry game undefeated in the District 4 and looking to take the lead. Holy Trinity won the meeting last season 35-0 but MCC is much improved after going 2-8 the previous season. Both teams are on a three game win streak. During that period MCC has outscored their opponents 108pts to 15 while HT has outscored their opponents 123-14. Lots of points will be scored Friday night as these two battle it out in what will ultimately decide the District 4 Champion.

Melbourne Central Catholic Fr QB Joseph Allen has grasped the offense and running the Coach Hooks “Lambo-Offense” efficiently. He has developed timing with a talented receiving corps in Jr WR Romel Hernandez, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sr Wr DayDay Farmer, and Jr WR Justin Woulard. Meanwhile Holy Trinity is led by So QB Brogan Mcnab who leads the District in passing and rushing. The HT Offense has explosive players like So ATH Jaeden Parker-McMillan, Fr Kamar Fielder, Jr WR Dillon Jensen, Sr RB Jesse Perez, Sr Wr Javon Kameka, Sr Ath Julien Ward, Sr ATH Gabe Sulliven.

The keys to this game will be who will step up defensively to slow down the other teams offense. MCC Jr ATH Ezra Engle, Sr OLB Robert Trebnik, Sr ATH Brian Osterle lead the way for the Hustler thus far. HT will look to get pressure with its pass rush led by Sr LB Wyatt Chandra, Jr LB Beau Fleis, Jr NG Merrick Campbell, and Fr LB Kristan Gibson. If it comes down to a late game kick ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jr K Marcus Trout could be the difference in the game.

This is a rivalry game, with a lot on the line, and anything can happen. Look for the winner to go on to win the district, have a first round bye, and make a deep playoff run in Class 1S.
