Jeff Aime carried 18 times for 191 yards
and scored two of his three touchdowns in the second half as St.
Francis Prep overcame an 8-0 first-quarter deficit and a 16-16 tie
in the third quarter to hold off Xavier, 30-16 in CHSFL football
yesterday. Xavier (5-3, 4-3 CHSFL A), trailing 24-16 late in the
fourth, had a chance to tie as it drove 65 yards down to the St.
Francis Prep 7. But the Knights, facing a second-and-goal, fumbled
away the ball and the game. Keith Ferrara had a 43-yard
interception for a touchdown and Antonio Troina also had an
interception for the Terriers (7-1, 7-0 CHSFL AAA). Amie leads the
CHSFL in touchdowns (22) and rushing (1,586). |
