First Quarter Fireworks

The game began with both teams trading punts. But St. John Bosco’s senior quarterback Caleb Sanchez broke the deadlock, connecting with sophomore wide receiver Daniel Odom for a 50-yard touchdown. That happened with just 2:35 remaining in the first quarter.

Halftime Drama

The scoreboard didn’t change until the dying seconds of the first half. Bosco had positioned themselves for a field goal, but following an Aquinas timeout, they decided to go for a touchdown. The attempt was unsuccessful, keeping the score at 7-0 at the halftime whistle.

Second-Half Action

Aquinas came back with some flair. A massive 45-yard punt return by senior Bryant Allen set them up nicely, allowing junior quarterback Andrew Indorf to tie the game with a touchdown pass to James Madison II.

But Bosco was quick to respond. A 30-yard field goal from senior kicker Marcus Lee put them back in the lead at 10-7.

Sealing the Deal

After stopping another Aquinas drive, Bosco increased their lead with a 6-yard touchdown pass from Sanchez to sophomore Madden Williams. Shortly after, a key interception by Bosco’s Tay Lockett helped run down the clock, leading to another field goal and securing the 20-7 win.

Star Performances

Sanchez had an impressive outing, finishing the game with 340 passing yards and two touchdowns.

Post-Game Insights

“We have a lot of good football ahead of us,” said Aquinas’ coach Harriott. He also mentioned that the game was a valuable learning experience for his younger players and quarterback Andrew Indorf.

What’s Next?

St. John Bosco (2-0) will continue their challenging schedule with a home game against Friendship Collegiate Academy from Washington, DC. St. Thomas Aquinas, on the other hand, will be looking to rebound against Fort Myers this coming Friday.
