NAPLES — Calvary Christian traveled to Naples and made sure the St. John Neumann offense wouldn’t travel at all.
The Warriors held the Celtics to only 143 yards of offense in a 28-0 victory Friday night. St. John Neumann managed only four first downs the whole night.
Calvary Christian quarterback Jack Sheehan threw for 130 yards and one touchdown for the Warriors. Stephon Williams rushed for 95 yards and two scores. Wes Vollmer caught six passes for 88 yards.
Calvary Christian coach Todd Yoder again learned that defense is the strength of his team.
“We have a lot of big, strong physical guys,” Yoder said. “We did a good job of stuffing the run and running downhill. The key to our offense was how we mixed up the run and throwing the ball. We got physical with the other team, which is what we wanted to do. We had some penalties early that hurt us. It was hard, because we moved the ball well, yet shot ourselves in the foot a little bit.”
The Warriors had possession on the ball for all but two minutes of the first quarter. Then the Warriors went on a five minute, 70-yard touchdown drive, culminating with a score on Stephon Williams’ 2-yard run.
Calvary Christian then recovered an onside kick on the kickoff and moved on to its second touchdown. Jake Sheehan ran it in from 12 yards out and went ahead 14-0 with 3:13 left until halftime.
