Eastern Christian Academy (Elkton, Md.) notched a statement victory on Friday night, rolling over No. 22 Paramus Catholic (Paramus, N.J.) 42-20.

The Maryland squad, which plays an independent schedule featuring teams across the country, posted 30 unanswered points after falling behind 7-0 to cruise to its first victory of the season.

The win was also the program's first against a New Jersey squad. It entered with an 0-3 record all time against foes from the Garden State.

Paramus Catholic, which boasts the nation's No. 1 recruit Rashan Gary, struggled to find a rhythm offensively. Quarterback Allen Walters was intercepted four times.

Eastern Christian Academy will look to build on arguably its most impressive win when it takes on Gilman next week.



Paramus Catholic will look to rebound against Pope John XXIII.
