- Caden Howard’s three receiving TDs were a new single game career high for him. Additionally, his total is the 13th time a player has had three or more receiving TDs in a game.
- Quinn Summers was “responsible for” six touchdowns in last week’s game (two running, four passing) which is tied for the third most in a game. Only Devon Nesbitt with seven (2018, Ballard Memorial) and Luke Crider with eight (2021, Fulton County – Playoffs) have more than Quinn.
