IT’S LOYOLA VS. MCDONOGH |
The Dons routed Archbishop Curley, 42-0, on Saturday, as did McDonogh, Landon of Bethesda, 35-7, to set up an Oct. 6 rematch of last year’s overtime, Loyola victory and a clash of teams which shared last year’s MIAA A Conference crown with Gilman. |
by Lem Satterfield Against visiting Archbishop Curley, on Saturday, the Loyola Dons were slow, initially, but systematic and deliberate, in the end. Following a scoreless first quarter, the defending MIAA A Conference champs erased all possible doubt, scoring 28 unanswered points in the second quarter and seven-each in the third and fourth on the way to a convincing 42-0 victory over MIAA B Conference power Archbishop Curley. Terence Garvin rushed for touchdowns from 1 and 8 yards away; second-team All-Metro quarterback Leon Kinnard threw scoring passes of 27, 49 and 68 yards, respectively, to Tim Bolte, Brandon Floyd and Vince Snarski; Donovan Eaton rushed for a 15-yard TD; and Jeff Timmons was good on all six extra point kicks. The victory impoved the Dons to 5-0 on the season, setting up next Saturday’s showdown at McDonogh, which shared last year’s MIAA A Conference title with the Dons and Gilman. A year ago, Loyola and McDonogh battled through overtime before the Dons claimed a 34-28 victory. That game ended with Kinnard’s 8-yard scoring pass to Omari Mobley, as the then-sophomore On Saturday, McDonogh (2-2, 0-0) tuned up for the game by routing Landon of Bethesda, 35-7, ending a two-game losing streak during which the Eagles were out-scored by a combined 49-7 by Philadelphia-area teams William Penn Charter and Malvern Prep.
