Down 27-13 entering the fourth quarter against the nation's No. 2 team, host Servite roared back only to lose 27-26 Friday night in the California Top 25 Game of the Week.
Painful enough to lose by a single point. Especially due to a missed extra point.
Following the third touchdown pass of the game from
Noah Fifita, this one a 36-yarder to
Zedakiah Centers, cut the lead to 27-20 early in the fourth quarter, Servite (4-2, 0-1) blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown, making the score 27-26. But the extra point missed, and St. John Bosco ran out the clock to improve to 6-0 overall, 1-0 in Trinity League play.
Servite, which also lost to nationally ranked Bishop Gorman, stayed within striking distance all night thanks to two touchdown catches from
Tetairoa McMillan.
There were three upsets in California's Top 25, including unranked Loyola (Los Angeles) defeating No. 11 Serra (Gardena), 24-7. Alemany, ranked 12th, also was edged by unranked Bishop Amat 25-24, and No. 25 Murrieta Valley was defeated by undefeated Chaparral, 30-27.
