LOS ANGELES, CA., September 1, 2017 – For the second consecutive week, the Eagles (2-0, 0-0) hit the road to take on a formidable opponent in Loyola High School (1-1, 0-0) and like last week, the defense pitched their second consecutive shutout. Senior Jake Delaney proved to disrupt the Loyola offense all night with six total tackles and 2.5 sacks on the night. In all, 20 different Eagles got in on tackles with Sean Toohey leading the way with seven total tackles and a sack. The Eagles had a total of five sacks on the night and one interception courtesy of Quentin Buchman, who took it 30-yards and to the house for his first career pick-six.
The Eagles put up 35 first half points which proved to be all they would need. Senior Chad Magyar had his second consecutive 100-yard rushing game, carrying the ball 14 times for 100 yards and one rushing touchdown. Malone Mataele carried the ball five times for 68 yards with a long of 55-yards for a touchdown on an impressive scramble that went from one sideline to the other. Josiah Norwood had an economical passing night, completing 13 of 21 passes (62%) for 158 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Senior Mark Eaton was the leading receiver with two catches for 44 yards and a long of 25 yards. The receiving touchdowns actually came from the Eagle backfield, with junior running back Jake Thomas catching a 10-yard touchdown pass and Magyar catching a touchdown pass as well.
Senior kicker Dylan Brady pinned the Cubs on their own 20 yard line with six touchbacks on six kickoffs and was a perfect five for five on PAT’s.
