St. Joe’s Scores Big Over Nazareth
by Alex Lloyd Gross
From the first few minutes of the game, St.Joe’s Prep dominated the game over Nazareth. Some of it was skill and some of it was luck, including a blocked punt to wind up just a few yards short of the goal line, which allowed St.Joe’s to score. The final score was 59-21. In the first quarter Nazareth scored a single touchdown, when the quarterback ran it in. It was a hard fought touchdown but that and the extra point put 7 on the board for the Lehigh Valley team.
