Malvern Prep took on Germantown Academy on a sunny Saturday; it was the perfect day for Football. This was the kickoff to the Inter-Ac. Through positive attitudes, and a previous week of hard practice filled with a by-week, the boys left GA with a victory 33-21.
The boy’s strength in perseverance came to light when they started the first quarter off losing 8-0 with four minutes left.
Senior Christian Bockrath (#37) commented on the sideline, “We have the game plan, we just need to shoot our shot.”
This was the best offensive game in the season. Junior quarterback Lonnie White Jr. (#10) had complete clear vision on the field. When a pass or drive wasn’t open, he took off to gain multiple yards for the advancement down the field. With this vision, White was able to diss a sack by running towards the RedZone to complete a 20-yard pass to senior John Gordon (#18) for a touchdown. Sophomore running back, Isaiah Wright (#26), completed multiple running carries for the Friars including a touchdown. From the use of mixed offensive plays, and very little mistakes, Malvern earned every bit of this win. The boys truly played like a team of brothers.
Defensively the boys did what they do best; causing turnovers for Malvern’s repossession. Senior Justin Roberts (#51) was caught making tackles at the start of GA’s plays to cause little to no gain on their carries as well as a fumble recovery. Jake Brownley (#40) and Caimin Hayes (#31) both had interceptions to slow the offensive of Germantown Academy. Cade Szostek also had an interception from a deep throw down field to end the game. Senior (#71), Will Redden, blocked for Wright (#26) to help complete a touchdown. Not one quarter was stronger than the other, the Friars defense was consistent the whole game.
The team hosts William Penn Charter this Saturday (10/19) at 2:00 p.m. Charter has an 0-1 record in their Inter-Ac season. The boys are ready to carry their aggressive attitude through the Inter-Ac, they are ready to thrive.
Congratulations to our players of the week; John Gordon (#18), Caimin Hayes (#31), and Lonnie White Junior (#10).
