Game of the Week
Monday's Oct. 22 matchup was the most talked-about game of the week. Giovani Pelaez scored for the Pineapples, and Kamden Doage answered for KTCS on a Charlie Waddell throw. That KTCS touchdown drew a controversial call, and the coach believes Doage was not in the end zone, so the debate is still going. The game finished 7-7.
Top Plays
Wednesday's Oct. 26 game had a notable catch from Giovani Pelaez, who hauled in a Maddox Marsaglia throw over a kid who ran onto the field and stayed on his feet. Finn Hopkins caught a Marsaglia touchdown for the Pineapples, and Wally Barickman caught a Kayson Link touchdown for KTCS. Also on Monday, Bowen Ince picked off Charlie Waddell after a tip from Maddox Pedon, and Braxton Iliff-Murphy grabbed an interception for KTCS. Oct. 27 featured a busy day of turnovers: Xavier Davenport had two interceptions, Carson Tabaka added one for KTCS, and Wally Barickman and Maddox Marsaglia each picked off a pass for the Pineapples. Luka Corrales (Pineapples) and Carson Tabaka (KTCS) also scored touchdowns that day, and the game ended 7-7.
Power Rankings
Giovani Pelaez holds the top spot at 96, just ahead of Xavier Davenport at 93 and Maddox Marsaglia at 92. Charlie Waddell (90) and Kayson Link (84) round out the top five. Nobody's rating moved this week, so the order is the same as before, but there is plenty of time to climb.
