West Roxbury, Mass.-- On a gusty morning at Jim O’Connor Stadium, Junior Zach Mitchell took a kickoff 95-yards to the house to propel Catholic Memorial to a 19-14 victory over BC High in the Pumpkin Bowl Thanksgiving morning.
“I got one Hail Mary and one Our Father in while he was running,” said Head Coach John DiBiaso.
The run game was crucial once again for the Knights (11-0). Shiloh White (9 rushes, 79 yards, 1 TD) led the ground attack with a 43-yard score mid-way through the second quarter.
Coach DiBiaso stated, “Shiloh ran hard...He ran tough. He got a lot of tough yards for us.”
Also, late in the second quarter Senior quarterback Barrett Pratt found Senior Jack Lawn in the end zone to give the Knights a 14-8 lead going into halftime.
