Key Player Matchups
QB Michael Campbell (CMS) vs. George Fox Secondary
Campbell’s ability to extend plays will test a Bruins defense that has yet to record an interception in 2025.
RB Jordan Reyes (CMS) vs. George Fox Front Seven
If active, Reyes’ power running could help the Stags control tempo.
QB JJ Leman (George Fox) vs. CMS Pass Rush
Leman has shown dual-threat ability, ranking third in the NWC in rushing yards among QBs. CMS must contain him on scrambles.
WR Karsen Denault (George Fox) vs. CMS Corners
