Notre Dame Fighting Irish

With talented recruits flocking to South Bend this weekend for the team's matchup with Boston College, several Notre Dame recruits will be in action on the playoff trail as well. The future of Notre Dame football will be on full display across the country.

Here are some of the notable games to keep a close eye on. It promises to be yet another entertaining week of football.

RB JEREMIYAH LOVE - Christian Brothers (11-1) at Liberty North (12-0)

Here are some of the notable games to keep a close eye on. It promises to be yet another entertaining week of football.Love was a big play waiting to happen during Christian Brother’s 42-7 victory over Marquette last Friday. Despite only carrying the football 11 times during the blowout, Love managed to explode for 139 yards and three touchdowns.

That is an absurd 12.6 yards per carry on the night.

Love’s teammate Jeremiah McClellan, who is a top 2024 wide receiver target for the Irish staff, also had a great day against Marquette. The junior hauled in five receptions for 103 yards and a touchdown in the win.

Christian Brothers (11-1) will travel to Liberty North (12-0) on Saturday. This will be the biggest test so far this season for Love and his Christian Brothers squad.

RB JAYDEN LIMAR - Lake Stevens (9-2) vs Gonzaga Prep (8-3)

On Saturday, Lake Stevens (9-2) will be taking on Gonzaga Prep (8-3). They are coming off of a 42-27 victory over North Creek last week.

RB/WR DYLAN EDWARDS - Derby (9-2) at Manhattan (11-0)

Edwards put together another standout week for Derby during their 36-21 victory over Washburn Rural. He rushed for 174 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries, once again showcasing his breakaway speed.

They will be traveling to Manhattan (11-0) with hopes of taking down the undefeated squad. 

WR JADEN GREATHOUSE - Westlake (11-0) vs New Braunfels (8-3)

Westlake pulled off another massive victory last Thursday 58-10 over Cedar Ridge. That pushed the program’s win streak to 51 consecutive victories in a row.

While it wasn’t Greathouse’s most prolific stat line offensively, he was still an instrumental performer for the Chaparrals. On the day, the senior hauled in for receptions for 52 yards.

That included a highlight reel one handed grab in the second quarter.

The senior’s biggest play of the day came as a punt returner. He returned his forth punt for a touchdown of the season during the contest, once again showcasing his magic with the football in his hands.

Westlake (11-0) is set to take on New Braunfels (8-3) on Friday night. The program has their eyes set on their fourth straight Texas 6A state championship.

WR RICO FLORES - Folsom (10-1) vs Central Catholic (8-4)

Flores continued to put together a fantastic senior season. In last week’s 52-8 victory over Sheldon, he hauled in five receptions for 65 yards and a touchdown.

TE COOPER FLANAGAN - De La Salle (8-3) at Pittsburg (10-1)

South Point has been led by their dominant offensive line all season, including Absher, who has put together a fantastic senior campaign thus far. The team is a run scheme and put together another fantastic performance during the team’s 74-41 victory over Dudley last Friday.

On 47 carries during the victory, the team rushed for 351 yards and sub touchdowns. That is a 7.5 yard per carry average.

South Point (11-1) looks to continue their dominance against Crest (9-3) on Friday night.

OL JOE OTTING - Hayden (10-1) at Holton (10-1)

Hayden is putting together an impressive 2022 season, defeating Columbus 39-19 last week. That improved their record to 10-1, led by the physical play of Otting.

They will now travel to Holton (10-1) on Friday for the next round of the state playoffs.

DE BRENAN VERNON - Mentor (9-3) at St. Edward (12-1)

Mentor has been a tough, and resilient, team so far this season. They were able to defeat Medina last week by a score of 42-21.

Led by Vernon, Mentor will now travel to take on St. Edward on Friday. The team will need a massive effort from Vernon on the defensive side of the football in this one.

Catholic Memorial continued their winning ways last week, defeating Chelmsford 28-7 to advance to the state championship game. They will now face off against Milford (9-1) on Saturday.

In order to slow down an explosive offense, Catholic Memorial will need a big time performance from Traore up front. That defensive unit has been dominant so far this season.

LB DRAYK BOWEN - Andrean (9-3) vs Bishop Luers (8-5)

Andrean looks like a team of destiny, led by Bowen, who has been a dominant force on both sides of the ball for the team. That impact continued during the team’s 30-12 victory over Lafayette Central Catholic last Friday.

Bowen made his impact felt during the contest defensively, leading the team with ten total tackles and a tackle for loss. His biggest contribution came in the passing game, where he intercepted two passes.

That included a highlight reel grab that went viral during the night.

Offensively, the team again leaned on the senior. He carried the ball 25 times for 227 yards and two touchdowns on the night. He wore down the defense with his tough running style.

On the season, Bowen has put together a senior campaign to remember. He currently leads the squad with 125 total tackles and 13 tackles for loss. That included another three sacks, two interceptions, four pass breakups and three forced fumbles.

As a running back, Bowen has rushed for 1,331 yards and 21 touchdowns on the season. That includes a 7.3 yards per carry average; while also hauling in nine receptions for 216 yards and three more scores in the passing game.

Andrean (9-3) will take on Fort Wayne Bishop Luers (8-5) on Friday night.

On Friday, they will be taking on St. John’s Prep (8-2) in the state championship. They will be depending on Zinter to make a massive impact, ending his senior year on an ultimate high.

CB CHRISTIAN GRAY - DeSmet Jesuit (7-5) at Lee’s Summit North (11-1)

After a daunting early season schedule, DeSmet Jesuit has begun rolling during the latter part of the season. They are fresh off of a 44-21 victory over Rock Bridge last week.

Gray intercepted two passes during that contest, and makes a plethora of plays on offense and special teams as a kick returner. On Saturday, they will be traveling to Lee’s Summit North (11-1) for a massive matchup.

S PEYTON BOWEN - Guyer (11-0) at Highland Park (11-0)

Guyer is on a course for redemption, making their push towards a Texas 6A state championship. They are fresh off of a 42-7 win over Marcus last week and will not travel to Highland Park (11-0) on Friday night.

Bowen got banged up last week but is poised to make his usual impact on Friday night. He is a dynamic mover on the backend for Guyer, while also making a huge impact on special teams and as a wide receiver when given opportunities.

S BEN MINICH - Lakota West (13-0) vs Archbishop Moeller (12-1)

Lakota West is fresh off of a 30-10 win over Elder last week. They head into their matchup against Archbishop Moeller looking like a team of destiny. They are led by Minich, who is a playmaker for the team on the defensive and offensive side of the football, as well as special teams.

On Archbishop Moeller’s side, they also sport 2024 cornerback commit Karson Hobbs. He is a playmaker on the backend for the team, bringing an impressive level of athleticism and length.
