Christ Prep rode a well balanced attack in chalking up the win. The Patriots scored first half touchdowns on a Jesse Mann 2 yard run and a 15 yard TD strike from Darren Wallace to Jack Layman. Layman also added a two point conversion on a fake PAT kick. The scoring might have been worse in the first half but the Patriots suffered three turnovers--two interceptions and a fumble--so the scoring was limited to 14-0 at intermission.
CPA hit its stride in the second half, breaking out for another 27 points. During the 3rd Quarter the Patriots pushed in TDs on runs from Wallace and Jared Nield of 1 yard and 3 yards, respectively. One Wallace PAT brought the lead to 27-0 at the end of three periods.
During the 4th quarter the Patriots continued their offensive showcase as Jared Nield scored on a 30 yard run, his longest of the day. Wallace's PAT put the score at 34-0 which ushered in the Patriot JV to wrap up the game.
The JV took over where the varsity left off. Newcomer Tyler Sorrell capped off the CPA scoring with a 1 yard run late in the game. Timothy Finley added the PAT. After a pass intcerception by Zach Hershberger, the Patriots ran out the clock and sealed the victory at 41-0.

Quarterback Darren Wallace rushed for 61 yards on 13 attempts. Each of the three backs had one rushing touchdown. Freshman Tyler Sorrell added another rushing touchdown and had 15 yards on four carries.
The Patriot passing game came through in key situations. Quarterback Darren Wallace was 6-11 for 100 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions. Two of Wallace's completions were for touchdowns. One was for 15 yards to Jack Layman; the other a 30 yard connection to Nield. Timothy Finley, in relief duty, was 1-1 for a 12 yard completion to Josiah Thill. Besides the receptions mentioned above, Wallace connected with Zach Hersberger and Timothy Finley for catches of eight and four yards, respectively. Jack Layman caught two other Wallace passes as well. Layman totaled three receptions for 58 yards.
