Video: MaxPreps Top 10 Games of the WeekDon Bosco Prep dominated defensively in an upset of No. 14 Archbishop Rummel.Archbishop Rummel (Metairie, La.) coach Jay Roth had seen plenty of video on
Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey, N.J.) and was more than impressed.
"They definitely have our attention," said the coach of the country's No. 14 team in the week leading up to the game. "You can see by every step they take and everything they do technically they are so well coached."
Don Bosco, the two-time mythical national champions, made an even bigger impression Saturday with a typical physical 10-3 victory Saturday in the second game of the Centennial Classic.
In first game, seventh-ranked St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.) defeated St. Peter's Prep (Jersey City, N.J.) 56-14
behind three touchdowns from Sean McGrew.Following a 26-yard field goal by Alex Bollinger in the middle of the second quarter, Rummel never scored.
Meanwhile, a
Malik Bakker 4-yard touchdown run just before halftime was all Don Bosco (3-1) needed to defeat the nationally-ranked Raiders (3-1), who traveled 1,300 miles on Friday to get to the Garden State.
A 60-yard kickoff return by sophomore
Kevin Brennan set up the touchdown.
A 30-yard field goal by
Ethan Cordaro midway through the third quarter made it 10-3.
Rummel, which finished with just 185 yards, missed a 35-yard field goal in the third quarter. Bosco got a big defensive game from linebacker
L.B. Mack, who had four tackles for losses.
