Brother Rice's Catholic High School League opener was a too-close-for-comfort 26-24 win against De La Salle (Warren) last Saturday. The Warriors (4-0) needed
a 34-yard Hail Mary pass completion from junior
Alex Malzone to senior
Jason Alessi to win the game as time expired. Catholic Central is 4-0 -- but the Shamrocks haven't had anything resembling a close call this season. They have shut out three opponents and have a cumulative margin of victory of 145-13.
