Congratulations Friars on another fine victory against the Rams! The Friars dominated the football game on Friday night which led to a 39-14 win! The game started off with two quick touchdowns by Mike Schillizzi and Darian "Coota" Riley, topped of by two extra point field goal kicks by Junior, Jimmy Doktor. Going into the 2nd quarter the Friars scored another touchdown, by runningback, Brian Sherlock. The 2nd half with just as much excitement, had two touchdowns scored with quarterback, Charlie Raffa throwing to Brian Kensil in the end zone. The Rams managed to score their 2nd touchdown with just over 2 minutes left in the game, but it just wasn't enough to compensate for the many touchdowns scored by the victory-driven Friars. The game included many great interceptions by James Mercurio, Tim Stackpole, and Durelle Napier to aid the Friars in their win. After the game, Mr. Donal Buckley presented Coach Rich Reichert with a commemorative plaque for his 200th victory for St. Anthony's in the Friar's end zone. Coach Reichert was very proud of his team and remind them that they still have one game left to play, and that is against Iona Prep on Saturday at Mitchell Field in Garden City. Coach Reichert said that he is very proud of his team who scored their 18th straight win and is looking to score their 19th, next week. Below are the stats for Friday's game. Great job Friars!!!
