Christopher's loss came about despite a quality game from William Rizqallah, who rushed for 132 yards and a touchdown. Rizqallah was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 67 yards.
Meanwhile, last Friday just wasn't the day for Archbishop Mitty's offense. They were outmatched by Valley Christian at home and fell 35-0. The last quarter was a mere formality, since the game's final score was reached by the end of the third quarter.
