We knew the late Jerry Burton pretty well and he would have been freaked out by the offensive numbers posted Sept. 25 by Loyola and Northwood in the stadium that bears his name.

The two rivals combined for 1,105 yards almost evenly split between the two, although the Flyers (3-1) won the point battle 71-59 versus the Falcons (1-3). Loyola's Bryce Restovich, perhaps the best quarterback in the state without a major Division I offer, completed 21 of 31 throws for 424 yards and six touchdowns without an interception. He also rushed for 64 yards and another score. Sure-handed Charlie McKenzie hauled in 8 passes for 137 yards and two scores with Ty Walsworth catching 7 for 133 and two TDs.

On flipside, Northwood's Peyton Boone rushed for two scores and passed for a third, while Caden Stewart rushed 22 times for 150 yards and three scores.

The offensive onslaught made for a long night in Jerry Burton Memorial Stadium.

Ruston 63, Catholic-B.R. 28: Apparently you don't want to catch Ruston (3-1) following a loss. A week after losing on the road to Karr, the Bearcats blew past the Bears (1-3) behind quarterback Sam Hartwell, who completed 17 of 27 passes for 316 yards and five TDs, while rushing for 162 more yards and another score. Ruston's Kohl Gray added 146 yards on 16 totes with three TDs.
