The Cathedral Catholic Dons (4-0), the 2008 California state bowl champs, looking to repeat the stellar season of last year, faced off against the tough Carlsbad Lancers (1-3) at Cathedral. The Dons used a strong rushing attack to open up the passing game, led by Johnny Marshall who carried the ball 18 times for 78 yards to lead Cathedral Catholic to a 38-7 win. Opening up big holes for Marshall was Senior Offensive Tackle Alex Crosthwaite, the # 26 rated tackle in the country who has committed to play for CAL next year . After a very defensive first quarter with both teams turning it over Cathedral got their act together. In the second quarter Brewer found his mark throwing TD passes of 18 and 70 yards to take a 17-0 lead at halftime. In the 3rd quarter Cathedral again went on the offensive, taking care of Carlsbad’s defense and scoring on a one-yard run from Jonny Martin and a 28-yard pass from Max Brewer to Corrie Garcia. Max Brewer would add one more TD pass in the 4th and Carlsbad would get into the end-zone thanks to some impressive runs by Ryan Lendrum who finished the game with 40 yards on 4 carries.
For the game, Carlsbad’s QB Blake Vandenkolk was 2 of 10 with 3 interceptions. Quarterback Max Brewer was 9 of 13 with four touchdown passes and one interception. Two of his completions went to junior wide receiver Chance Early for 80 yards and one TD. He is currently getting interest from Iowa. Carlsbad’s starting running back Michael Taele who is averaging 153 yards a game, was held to just 55 on 15 carries. Cathedral pounded out 151 yards on 38 carries as a team. Cathedral has a tough road ahead if they plan to get another state bowl game bid, as three of their remaining six games are against undefeated Eastern League foes.
