Shane Morris is one of the most touted junior
quarterbacks in the country. The 6-3, 190-pounder has led De La Salle to
three consecutive wins to start the season, in which it has averaged 36
points. Morris has completed 61 percent of his throws for 499 yards
with five touchdowns and only one interception. The Pilots have won only
three of the last 10 meetings against Brother Rice, but did defeat the
Warriors last season, 7-0.
For Brother Rice, Sunday's game means
more than just the start of the Detroit Catholic League season, it's
also the first true home game in the school's storied football
tradition. A new on-campus stadium has opened bearing the name Fracassa
Field in honor of long-time coach Al Fracassa, who has 398 career wins
(354 at Brother Rice) and has led the Warriors to seven state
championships. This year's team improved to 3-0 with a 42-9 rout of St.
Francis De Sales (Toledo, Ohio) last week. Northern Illinois commit
Devin Church ran for 122 yards and one touchdown on just 10 carries.
