GAME OF THE WEEK: #10 Holy Trinity (4-1) vs John Carroll Catholic (4-1)

Holy Trinity’s Rico Buitrago Leading the Charge into Friday Night Showdown with John Carroll Catholic

Holy Trinity senior quarterback Sr QB Rico Buitrago has been nothing short of spectacular this season, guiding the Tigers to a 4-1 record while establishing himself as one of the top signal-callers in Brevard County. Through five games, Buitrago has been nearly unstoppable, completing 70 of 119 passes for 1,232 yards, 16 touchdowns, and just 2 interceptions. His efficiency and poise have set the tone for an offense that thrives on explosive plays through the air.

Much of Buitrago’s success can be credited to his dynamic receiving corps. Sr WR Jaden McMillan has emerged as the go-to playmaker, hauling in 29 receptions for 490 yards and 7 touchdowns. His ability to stretch the field and win contested catches has made him a nightmare for opposing secondaries. Alongside him, So WR Aaron Raines has provided another reliable target, contributing 14 receptions for 288 yards and 4 scores, consistently moving the chains and creating mismatches.

This Friday night, the Tigers will face one of their toughest tests yet when they travel to take on John Carroll (5-1). The Golden Rams bring a strong defense and a balanced attack, but Holy Trinity’s offensive firepower gives them a clear shot at victory.

Expect this matchup to come down to the wire, with Buitrago’s leadership and the Tigers’ aerial attack proving to be the difference. Prediction: Holy Trinity edges John Carroll Catholic in a thriller, winning by 3 points.

FINAL: JCC 42-24
