Tigers' commit Gavin Sidwar led La Salle to yet another dominant win this past week, taking down Cardinal O'Hara High School by a score of 54-17. The 6-foot-3, 190 lb. signal caller was absolutely electrifying in the win, finishing the game 14-of-18 through the air for 296 yards and five touchdowns.

He showed a full display of his skillset, finding his wide receivers all over the field and delivering accurate, on time throws. In the three minute clip above, Sidwar's arm talent is extremely evident as he makes high level passes look routine.

Through eight games this season, the future Tigers' quarterback has completed 70 percent of his passes for 2,046 yards and 24 touchdowns to just four interceptions. He has his team at 7-1 with just one game left before the state playoffs begin.
