Don Bosco Prep 44 St. Joe’s (Mont.) 35

One of the highest scoring games in this longtime-series’ history produced one of the young seasons’ marquee games. Nick Minicucci produced 340 passing yards, three touchdown passes and a touchdown run to power Don Bosco (2-1) to a bounce-back win. St. Joe’s Mont. (1-2) lost starting quarterback Luke Henrich to an injury late in the 2nd quarter but controlled the ground game with 188 rushing yards from their three-headed attack. Both teams combined for 916 total yards in a wild atmosphere at Granatell Stadium.

Dom Teti returned a kickoff for a score, while Zach Maxwell rushed for a TD in the win as well. Penn State head coach James Franklin was on hand to watch Ejani Shakir.

Nottingham 14 Notre Dame 12

Nottingham picked up their first win of the 2022 season following a thrilling 14-12 victory over WJFL Capitol Division rival Notre Dame. Nottingham would strike first on a 39 yard touchdown pass to Sabri Melvin late in the opening quarter to eventually lead 7-6 at halftime. Trailing 14-6 midway through the fourth, Notre Dame cut the lead to just two, but a failed conversion would ultimately decide the game.

Freshman Najee Calhoun had 28 carries for 169 yards and a 9-yard touchdown run and the Griffins scored all of its points in the first half and held RFH to 95 yards in an impressive road win. Fellow freshman Emanuel Gerena caught a 13-yard TD pass from Todd Lambertson and JJ Correa had a 15-yard scoop and score off a blocked punt to account for Donovan’s points. The Griffins avenge a 14-0 loss to Rumson last year.
