BOYS’ LATIN WINS, STAYS IN THE HUNT |
With the top two teams qualifying for the MIAA B Conference Football Championship Game, two losses at this point is the max to remain in contention and coming in with a 2-2 conference record, Boys’ Latin needed a win over host Severn, yesterday at Broadneck, and that is exactly what the Lakers got, as they edged the Admirals, 14-6.
All of the scoring was done in the first half. BL quarterback Charlie McComas broke the ice with a 1 yard plunge in the first quarter and Aaron Verardi put the Lakers up 14-0 when he returned a fumble 25 yards for a second score.
Severn’s only score came in the second quarter, when senior Mark Staines scored on a 35 yard pass from quarterback Trey Mullady.
The second half, as was most of the first half, was dominated by the defenses and Boys’ Latin was able to hang on for the victory. The Lakers are now 3-3 overall and 3-2 in the B Conference, where they currently reside in fifth place.
Severn fell to 2-4 overall and 0-4 in the league.
Next week, BL will be at Georgetown Prep for a non-conference game, while Severn will visit Cardinal Gibbons.
