After a tough loss to MICDS on October 2, the Rebels came out strong against Principia this past Saturday. With the offense controlling the line of scrimmage, the defense dominating, and the special teams coming up with big plays, it was evident that the Cougars were in for a long day. Priory scored first on a 2-yard run by Colin Bruns with 10:09 on the clock and never let up. Bruns added a second touchdown just three minutes later. Another three minutes passed by and Principia was punting the ball. Tommy Yoon caught the punt and took off the other direction and was not touched as he crossed the goal line to score his first varsity touchdown. With under a minute to go in the first quarter David Taiclet hooked up with Nick Thompson from 30 yards
out to make the score 26-0 after a quarter. The second quarter was more of the same as Priory drove all the way down the field and David Taiclet scored his first touchdown on a QB sneak from the 1 yard line. That was all the starters would see for this game. The second team players got to see a lot of game action in this game and completely held their own. With the second team offense in Priory drove all the way down the field behind the legs of Scott Telthorst. He added to the scoring as he crossed the goal line with three minutes left in the half. This made the score 40-0 going into halftime. The Rebels were unable to score again but they moved the ball and showed promise for years to come. The defense held strong all game adding another shutout to the already long list of shutouts. With this win, Priory enters districts with a 6-1 record preparing to host Imagine College Prep. on October 16.
Priory has continued to roll in the last week, winning three games and outscoring their opponents, two of which were highly rated, 9-0. The Rebels traveled to Lutheran North at the end of last week. Picking up right where they left off, the Rebels struck no more than a minute into the game when senior Jack Wegmann won the ball in a scrum in the box and poked it into the net. While the Rebels had all the possession and control of the game, the North goalie kept his team in the game, making several great saves. In the end, sophomore Jeffy Hopson hit a super strike off the crossbar and down into the net to secure a 2-0 victory. Next the Rebels traveled to Whitfield on homecoming for what promised to be a tough game. After struggling to find a rhythm early, Priory began to again hit their stride and take control of the game.
