JUNIOR POWERS CURLEY
|
| Senior Jerome Junior rushed for well over 100 yards, with 86 coming on three long scoring runs, as Archbishop Curley won its second straight in the MIAA B Conference when it traveled to Laurel, last night, to defeat St. Vincent Pallotti, 36-13. The Friars (4-3, 3-1), as they do when in control, dominated possession with a grinding ground attack while building a 28-0 first half lead. Senior Brad Waltman put Curley on the board with a 17 yard touchdown run in the first quarter and junior Terrance Dandridge followed with a 6 yard scoring burst. In the second quarter, Junior got to work, as scored on runs of 36 and 26 yards and he added a 24 touchdown run in the third quarter. Attempting to get healthy after a grueling early season schedule, Curley coach Sean Murphy pulled most of his starters early in the second half in anticipation of a critical home battle, next Saturday, with St. Mary's. Having already lost to Archbishop Spalding, Curley most likely needs to win that contest to remain in contention for a place in the MIAA B Conference Championship Game. Senior Marcus Willis led Pallotti (1-5, 0-5) with two scores, as he converted a 2 yard touchdown run in the third quarter and then raced 24 yards for a fourth quarter touchdown.
