FINAL SCORE ST. MARKS 41 - Cistercian 21.

NOTES:  We had 562 yards of total offense. John Webb was 26 for 41 for 413 yards and 4 touchdowns with a heavy and wet ball. WELL DONE. Justin Jones 24 carries for 168 yards and two rushing TD's;  I’ll take a 7 yards per carry average any day. Jones also caught one pass for a 17 yard TD.  John Caldwell  7 catches for 216 yards and 2 Td’s, that’s almost 31 yards per catch- good stuff. Kendrick Spraglin 6 catches for 99 yards and a TD.  Reid Thompson and Danny Koudelka each had six receptions. Good job by Michael Doorey on the shotgun snaps with a wet ball. Great job by the offensive line, I think QB Webb was hit on three passes. Michael Vick would love to have that stat.  Cistercian QB completed only 45% of his passes. The big guy #25 Odeyingbo ran the ball 28 times for a tough 143 yards. I watched him on several plays and if he wasn’t running the ball, he was a statue, he was resting!!  We pounded him and I think he slept well with visions of Papin, M. Labhart, Goldstein, K. Hall and others dancing in his head.  Just like Mart, Cistercian had no points and only six first downs in the second half as the defense really stepped it up in the second half.
This Friday may be our toughest test of the season at FW All Saints.
