If St. Francis was frustrated after 11 straight losses to its fiercest West Catholic Athletic League rival, that frustration was released in the first nine minutes of action on Friday night.
Washington State-commit Cyrus Habibi-Likio ran for a 58-yard score on the game’s opening drive, and Garrett McCarthy returned two punts for touchdowns to fuel St. Francis’ three-score lead before the first quarter ended.
The Bells’ defense allowed just 54 yards from scrimmage after the opening 80-yard drive and controlled the pace, which set the stage for a valiant comeback attempt.
Twin brothers, Tyriq and Tyrese Mack, combined for 128 receiving yards, three interceptions and three touchdowns as the visiting Patriots defeated their cross-town rival in the Bay Valley Athletic League opener for both teams.
Jack Haener threw three touchdown passes and Nate Landman caught two scoring passes, threw for another and was a disruptive presence on defense as the host Mustangs (5-0, 4-0 East Bay Athletic League) topped the Matadors (3-2, 0-2).
Chase Hofmann shook off a shoulder injury to rush for a 36-yard game-clinching touchdown and finished with 238 yards and four touchdowns on 23 carries.
Receiver Evan King (nine catches,120 yards, two TDs) and backup quarterback Emilio Simbeck (8-of-9, 104 yards, two TDs) had solid performances for the Knights.
The host Cardinals (4-1, 2-0 North Bay League) spotted the Wildcats (4-1, 1-1) a touchdown on the game’s opening drive, but took control from there.
