Crespi is preparing for their first league matchup of the season on Friday. They will welcome the St. Anthony Saints at 7:00 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Crespi has five straight victories, St. Anthony has six straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
If St. Anthony heads into halftime all tied up, they better play a good second half: that's when Crespi took over last week. The Celts walked away with a 38-28 win over Oak Park last Friday.
The match pitted two dominant signal callers against one another in Chase Curren and Grayson Auzat. Curren had a great game and threw for 156 yards and three TDs. Meanwhile, Auzat was balling out in the loss, throwing for 224 yards and three touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes, and also rushing for 45 yards and one score.
Crespi's defense made their presence known, laying out Auzat three times. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Noah Sanchez, Darryl Jones, and Zach Balta, who each picked up one sack apiece. Sanchez was another major factor on D, picking up a sack and making seven total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, St. Anthony scored the most points they've had this season on Friday, but it wasn't enough. They were dealt a 52-17 loss at the hands of Rio Hondo Prep. The Saints were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 38-3.
St. Anthony's defeat dropped their record down to 0-5. As for Crespi, their victory bumped their record up to 5-0.
Crespi couldn't quite finish off St. Anthony when the teams last played back in November of 2024 and fell 30-27. Will the Celts have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
