Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask St. Joseph Academy). They took their game on Saturday with ease, bagging a 62-14 win over the Calvary Chapel Grizzlies. Given the Crusaders' advantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 17th, while the Grizzlies are ranked 74th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
St. Joseph Academy didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Asher Larkin.
When it comes to explaining why Calvary Chapel lost, don't look at Uriah Figueroa. Despite the final result, he rushed for 74 yards and one score on only five carries, and also picked up 48 receiving yards. Figueroa's longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory made it two in a row for St. Joseph Academy and bumps their season record up to 4-1. Those wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 22 points in those games. As for Calvary Chapel, they suffered their first home defeat, dropping their record down to 3-2.
St. Joseph Academy didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next matchup, a 50-6 victory against California Lutheran on the 3rd. As for Calvary Chapel, they will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Vista Meridian at 12:00 p.m. on the 11th. The Grizzlies will be up against the Meridian Eagles' rather soft defense (which has allowed 36.8 points per contest), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
