The Vallejo Redhawks had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 12.5 points), and they went ahead and made it three on Friday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 56-54 win over St. Patrick-St. Vincent. Vallejo pushed the score to 56-32 by the end of the third, a deficit St. Patrick-St. Vincent cut but never quite recovered from.
Jasier Smith had an outrageously good game as he threw for 365 yards and eight touchdowns. Sedrick Vaughn also deserves a shout-out for his three touchdowns.
Several Bruins players turned in solid performances, despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Trevor Moelk, who threw for 338 yards and five touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Jalil Christoff did his part for the team as well, scoring a TD off of 80 receiving yards.
