Football Demolishes Rival St. John’s Jesuit, 42-7, on Road to Extend Winning Streak

The Central Catholic football team demolished rival St. John’s Jesuit, 42-7, on Friday at Lyden Field.  With the impressive road victory, the Fighting Irish improve to 4-3 overall, 3-1 in the Catholic High School League (CHSL).

CCHS took advantage of a season-high 152 yards rushing on 20 carries and 3 TDs by junior RB Jeremiah Fuller to collect its 11th straight win vs. the Titans (4-3, 1-2 CHSL). Fuller found the end zone on scoring runs of 16, 18, and 2 yards, all in the 1st half, to help the Scarlet & Gray register a season-high point total.

Central Catholic also benefited from TD passes by junior QB Ali Beydoun to senior WRs Preston Fryzel and Jerome Davis V, along with a 54-yard scoop and score by senior DB Victor Singleton, Jr. following a blocked field-goal attempt, prompting a running clock in the 2nd half.

Beydoun finished a perfect 5-of-5 for 126 yards and 2 TDs throwing the ball. 

CCHS will return to action against OLSM on Friday, October 10.  The opening kick vs. the Eaglets is slated for 7 p.m. at Milewski Field. 

Last fall, Central Catholic secured a narrow 7-6 victory against OLSM at home. CCHS QB Isaiah Fox connected with senior WR Sharard Vaughn III on a 4-yard TD reception with 59 seconds left in regulation to give the Fighting Irish their 1st points of the game.

Following a 15-yard penalty, senior PK Blake Moody successfully booted the extra point for the game-winning tally.

The last-minute score was setup after an interception by LB/TE Dominic Spinazze II, as OLSM was trying to run out the clock. 

The Eaglets had 1 final possession to win the conference matchup in the waning seconds, but CCHS responded with consecutive sacks from LB Michael Besteda and junior LB Antonio Elizondo, as well as a game-sealing interception from DB Dantoni Callaway to close out the 1-point home triumph.
