THE DIFFERENCE: Tampa Catholic jumped to a quick 20-0 lead and was controlling the line of scrimmage before previously undefeated Trinity Christian started to come back. Trinity Christian (5-1) scored on three second-half touchdown passes from Jarod Stanley to Kory Williams, but the Crusaders (4-2) killed the clock down the stretch on behind the running of Henry McCloud and Christian Green.

GAME NOTES: A.J. Mulkey scored the first touchdown of the game on a 10-yard toss from Green. ... Early in the second quarter, the Crusaders seemed to have put it away when Green picked up a fumble in the end zone to make it 20-0. He was stripped at the goal line but recovered in the end zone. ... Trailing 27-21 in the fourth quarter, Trinity Christian moved into Tampa Catholic territory, but two penalties moved it out of scoring range. After a punt, Tampa Catholic held onto the ball until McCloud scored in the final minute to seal the game.

STAT OF THE GAME: Tampa Catholic's McCloud and Green combined for 276 yards on the ground and Green threw for 131 yards.

QUOTE OF THE GAME: "The best thing about this win is the way our offensive line came through. They were getting out ahead all night and they were the key. Give credit to McCloud and Green, but it was the offensive line that got it done all night." - Tampa Catholic coach Bob Henriquez
