Patriots Lose to Onaga 22-7

In a game of smashmouth football, the Onaga Buffaloes beat the Christ Prep Patriots 22-7 Friday night at Center High School. The Patriots scored on their first play from scrimmage on a 92 yard run by senior Jesse Mann. After Timothy Finley's ensuing PAT, however, CPA would not find the end zone again. Onaga scored two subsequent first half touchdowns and added a third in the fourth quarter to seal the victory. With the win, Onaga improves to 4-3 on the season. Christ Prep falls to 1-6.

Although CPA's ground game began promising with Mann's 92 yard run, the Patriots were limited to 112 total yards on 26 carries. Mann actually had 113 yards on 9 carries, so the remaining 15 team carries spread throughout the team resulted in negative yardage, primarily due to quarterback sacks.

The Patriots got about the same amount of yardage through the air as they did rushing. Timothy Finley was 9-17 for 134 yards with one interception. Jack Layman caught three balls for 61 yards while Zach Hersberger had four receptions for 51 yards.

Defensively, several Patriots had five or more tackles. Jesse Mann led the way with 16 stops, three assists and one sack. Regan Hurley and Grant Layman added eight tackles each while Chase Stamatis, Josh Yankoviz, and Jack Layman had five tackles a piece.
