This football season junior Ethan McGee has been stepping it up for the team.

Last week McGee was out of the game after the first quarter due to an injury.

Before he was injured he was making moves for the Blue Devils that gave them a slight head start over Northern Bedford.

The Blue Devils fell behind and lost 41-20.

On the season McGee has 13 receptions for 209 yards. He’s also got three interceptions on defense.

This week the Blue Devils take on the Glendale Vikings at 7 on their turf.
