The St. Francis Red Raiders JV football team improved their record to 7-0 with a convincing 46-7 road win over Aquinas. St. Francis got on the board first when RB Kamil Clark scored on a 3 yard TD run. Aquinas got their only points of the game on the following kickoff with an 80 yard kickoff return for a touchdown. The PAT kick was good, giving Aquinas an early 7-6 lead. From there, it was all St. Francis. After an Aquinas failed onside kick attempt which was recovered by Patrick Waggoner, the Red Raiders went a 52 yard scoring drive as QB Noah Workman hit WR Jack Raymond with a 21 yard TD pass to give St. Francis a 12-7 lead.

On a punt attempt on Aquinas’ next drive, St. Francis DL Jack Demeo tackled the Aquinas punter for a loss, giving St. Francis the ball at the Aquinas 20 yard line. RB Kimal Clark ran in for a 2 yard TD and QB Noah Workman hit WR Jack Raymond for the PAT, giving St. Francis a 20-7 first quarter lead. 

In the 2nd quarter, the Red Raiders next scoring drive was highlighted by a 16 yard pass from QB Noah Workman to WR Anthony Gomez and a 12 yard run on a reverse from WR Jack Raymond, which took the ball down to the 1 yard line. From there, RB Vincent Monaco ran in for a TD and the PAT was successful as QB Noah Workman hit RB Vincent Monaco with a pass, giving St. Francis a 28-7 lead. 

St. Francis’ next drive started from their own 36 yard line. The drive was highlighted by passes from QB Noah Workman to RB Kimal Clark for 19 yards and to RB Vincent Monaco for 14 yards. The Red Raiders completed the drive when RB Dylan Mack ran for a 3 yard TD, giving St. Francis a 34-7 halftime lead.

Aquinas opened the 2nd half with another onside kick attempt, only to have a Red Raider Tyler Drozdowski recover the ball. After a scoreless 3rd quarter, St. Francis completed the scoring with two 4th quarter TD’s runs from Kimal Clark (33 yards) and RB Vincent Monaco (46 yards), making the final score St. Francis 46 - Aquinas 7. 

The Red Raider offensive line (center Chris Wind, guards Jack Demeo and Jason Lowry, and tackles Zack Jaworski and Joe Black) controlled the line of scrimmage. The St. Francis offense ran for 208 yards, led by RB Kimal Clark (14 carries for 127 yards) and RB Vincent Monaco (10 carries for 64 yards). 

Once again, the Red Raider defense dominated. The defense was led by LB Dylan Mack’s (7 tackles), LB Conor Black (6 tackles) and DL Jason Lowry and DL Jaxon Mohawk (5 tackles each). LB’s Gavin Calkins and Vincent Monaco each had a fumble recovery in the 2nd half.
