After losing 11 straight in this WCAL series against Bellarmine, St.
Francis came out attacking on their first three possessions as senior
running back Cyrus Habibi-Likio (6-foot-1, 210 pounds) scored on a 58
yard run while senior Garrett McCarthy (5-foot-9, 170 pounds) had punt
return touchdowns of 54 and 60 yards. After the 2:57 mark in the first
quarter, the Lancer offense had a non-existent passing game and used the
running game to melt the clock to win 21-12. The Lancer defense had
several key stops and timely sacks to end Bellarmine drives as junior
Tyler Manoa (6-foot-4, 290 pounds, BYU commit) had 1.5 sacks for the
game.
The Bells are normally a disciplined, mistake-free team.
Bellarmine's first offensive play was a botched snap that resulted in a
19-yard loss. Senior quarterback Ike Ogbogu (6-foot-1, 185 pounds) was
pressured into four sacks and one interception. The Bells were held
scoreless in the first half but mounted two scoring drives in the second
half. But the special teams missed the first PAT that led to a failed
two-point attempt on the second score after already giving up two punt
return scores to the Lancers. On the bright side, the defensive unit
shut out St. Francis after the first possession and the offense has
senior tight end Justin Malone (6-foot-4, 220 pounds) who was a big and
open target.
