Sterling’s Brady Berlin and Jack Saathoff lead passing game

Despite a 36-20 loss to Moline to open Western Big 6 Conference play last Friday, the Golden Warriors’ passing game showed it can create explosive plays.

Junior quarterback Brady Berlin threw for a career-high 229 yards on 19 of 27 passing with three touchdowns and no interceptions. Two of those TDs went to Jack Saathoff, including a highlight-reel 28-yarder in the corner of the end zone. Saathoff finished with six catches for 91 yards. Maurice De La Cruz also had a 27-yard catch and run for a score.

“Every game this season it feels like he’s getting better and better,” coach Jon Schlemmer said of Berlin.

Berlin is 35 of 50 passing with 399 yards and seven TDs, no interceptions in three games this season.
