Key Player Matchups
QB Jack Mitchell (Centre) vs. LaGrange Secondary
Mitchell’s ability to stretch the field vertically will test LaGrange’s defensive backs.
RB Caleb Johnson (Centre) vs. LaGrange Front Seven
If active, Johnson’s downhill running could help Centre control tempo.
QB Tyler Barker (LaGrange) vs. Centre Pass Rush
Barker has been efficient but turnover-prone; Centre must pressure him to force mistakes.
WR Chris Lee (LaGrange) vs. Centre Corners
If cleared, Lee is Barker’s top target; Centre will likely shade coverage his way.
