The Chicago Catholic League/East Suburban Catholic Conference reshuffled the divisions this year. DeLaSalle and Marian Catholic were moved from the Purple Division into the Red Division. I wanted to get a look at DeLaSalle who I haven’t seen in a couple years so I can see what the Red will be dealing with.
And of course I wanted to see St. Viator—the mighty mighty Lions! My beloved alma matter.
I will spare you the blow-by-blow. Let’s just say it was sloppy first half for both teams. DeLaSalle lead 14-7 at the half.
The second have was better but St. Viator’s play calling left something to be desired. In the fourth quarter the Lions started running between the tackles and finally met with some success. St. Viator scored.
St. Viator scored again but missed the extra point. 20-14 Lions.
With 9:03 left in the 4th, DeLaSalle’s talented sophomore quarterback scored on a keeper from the five. The extra point was good. 21-10 DeLaSalle.
Cooper Kmet, Cole’s younger brother, put together a nice drive for the St. Viator moving the Lions down to the DeLaSalle 23 yard line. St. Viator’s Gabe Glodz put in a 30 yard field goal with 3:28 to play to lift the Lions to a 23-21.
The Meteors had the ball and chance to will. Lewis took them down the field moving backwards and forwards. A long pass to the goal line and a keeper for the touchdown. Then a two-point conversion and the Lions fell to the Meteors 29-23.
DeLaSalle has loads of talent. The Red is well advised to take notice.
