St. Joes Prep Dominates in 42-6 Win Over La Salle
October 6, 2023 | Noah Stomsky
While Prep’s offense seemed slow and didn’t look like themselves, the defense was playing at an elite level the entire game. With two early turnovers on offense and giving the ball up in scoring position, SJP should’ve been down big. A superior defensive line, flying linebackers, and sealed tight coverage caused numerous sacks and multiple […]

Stone Saunders and Rico Scott Torch La Salle in 47-21 Win
September 8, 2023 | Noah Stomsky
Mark Stoops and Nick Saban sat back and couldn’t help but laugh watching Stone Saunders total five touchdowns and Rico Scott total three touchdowns. Early issues going three and out in the first drive and giving up a touchdown right away, some speculated on how Bishop McDevitt would respond or if La Salle would be […]

St. Joe’s Prep has been rolling all year. In all but one of their first 8 matchups, they had scored 30 or more points.

Dominate. After being outworked, outhustled, and outplayed by Roman Catholic two weeks ago, La Salle wanted to dominate. They did just that for four quarters on Friday Night vs Father Judge, as they won 52-14. La Salle scored early and often in a variety of different fashions. EJ Wentz got the Explorers on the board […]
