HOMEWOOD — John Carroll Catholic High School dominated Montevallo 47-7 on Friday night at Pat Sullivan Field for its second victory of the season.
“I thought we executed on offense and defense,” John Carroll head coach Will Mara said. “Hopefully we can get back on track getting into the second half of area play. Defense flew around and offense executed the game plan and it was overall a good team win.”
Just 37 seconds went off the clock before the Cavaliers got on the board with an Aubrey Coker rushing touchdown from the 1-yard line. A QB keeper from senior Garrett Barnes added to the score in the first quarter. The Cavaliers missed the extra point to lead 13-0 after one quarter. Montevallo had a chance to score in the first quarter, but missed a field goal attempt.
Barnes threw to Tucker Rice for a touchdown catch early in the second quarter. That put the Cavs up 20-0. Coker rushed for his second touchdown of the night with 6:09 left in the 2nd quarter, as John Carroll took a 26-0 lead to halftime.
John Carroll started the second half on the right track as well. Debo Battle ran in another rushing touchdown to give the Cavs a 33-0 lead. After a tough first half, Montevallo finally got its only score of the night on a QB keeper with 5:35 left in the third quarter.
A 3-yard rushing touchdown by Andy Everett put the Cavs up 40-7 with 10:50 remaining in the game.
John Carroll finished the scoring when quarterback Harry White threw a strike to Joseph Hounkpe.
Barnes accounted for two touchdowns (one passing and one rushing). Coker rushed for two touchdowns on the night. The Cavaliers scored five rushing touchdowns out of their seven total scores.
The Cavaliers move to 2-4 on the year, while Montevallo drops to 1-4.
John Carroll heads to Wenonah for a region matchupnext Friday.
“We will get into the film room and break them down this week,” Mara said. “I know it's a quick turnaround playing on Thursday, but they're explosive and they have athletes. We've got to be ready to play and try to get back on track in area play."
