PREGAME

Boyle County is led by Montavin Quisenberry, a West Virginia commit who plays slot back and sometimes running back. The Rebels (2-0) run a variety of plays centered on him.

The Rebels beat Lexington Christian 35-13 and Bryan Station 48-8 in their first two games.

St. Edward followed an opening-season shutout win at Pickerington North with an impressive 35-21 victory over nationally ranked St. Joseph's Prep (Pennsylvania).

The Eagles' defense has looked dominant in both games, with running back Brandon White standing out on offense.

St. Edward enters Saturday ranked No. 11 in the national SBLive/SI Top 25.
