Bishop Amat is headed out to face St. Paul after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Bishop Amat blew past West Covina 49-6 at home on Thursday. Given the Lancers' advantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 42nd, while the Bulldogs are ranked 284th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, St. Paul had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They secured a 21-17 W over Newport Harbor on Friday.
Among those leading the charge was Gabriel Castaneda, who threw for 126 yards and a touchdown while completing 72% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
Bishop Amat won a contest that couldn't have been any closer in their previous meeting back in August of 2023, slipping by St. Paul 29-28.
