Bishop England took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Friday. They blew past the St. John's Islanders, posting a 70-0 victory. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Battling Bishops also won the last time the pair played back in August of 2024.
Bishop England got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Quinn Mahoney out in front who threw for 158 yards and three touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes. What's more, Mahoney racked up 154.4 passer rating, the most he's had since back in August of 2024. Bishop England's leading receiver Zachary Balog was Mahoney's top target yet again, picking up 95 receiving yards and a pair of scores.
Another reason for the win was Bishop England's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for seven sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Matthew Ponkow and Luke Russell, who racked up five sacks between them. Ponkow is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made five or more in each of the last eight games he's played dating back to last season. Bishop England received some extra help from Knox Mahoney, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Bishop England will take on Hanahan at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. As for St. John's, they will square off against First Baptist School at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
