    Shiner capped non-district with a 49-7 win at East Bernard and sits at 3-1.

    Kyle Bures-Guerrero is back to lead the Indian offense and has thrown for 630 yards and eight touchdowns while running for 429 yards and nine more touchdowns.
    Vince Sablatura and Dylan Holt each have over 200 yards on the year and have combined for six touchdowns.
    Cain Hayden is the top receiver with 226 yards on 16 catches and four touchdowns.
    “Bures-Guerrero runs well and can throw just as good,” Boedeker said “He has several good receivers to throw to and we cannot just pinpoint one of them. They also have two very good running backs
    Fabian Almeda is the top defender with 16 tackles, five assists and five tackles for loss; Holt had two sacks on the year.
    “They have a very athletic defensive line and linebackers get to the ball well,” Boedeker said. “We’ll have to win the line of scrimmage and sustain drives by eliminating penalties and not turning the ball over.”

    The Cardinals close out the two-game home stand by welcoming Geneva Eagles.
    The Eagles currently sit at 1-3 after winning their opener against Austin St. Michaels and have dropped three games in a row.

    Grimes is the leading receiver with 154 yards on 20 catches.
    “They are a spread on offense but do some things on the line such as putting a tight end in the tackle position. We will need to make sure we keep eyes on the receivers,” Wachsmuth said.
    George Vina is the leading tackler with 18 tackles, 10 assists, two tackles for loss and one sack.
    “They will line up in multiple formations. Our offense had few penalties and no turnovers in our last game and that was big,” Wachsmuth said. “We need to do that this week.”
