McGuinness lights up Elgin Owls, 56-7


No time was wasted in a blowout victory over the Elgin Owls.  McGuinness drove down field in just a little over a minute on their opening drive, and Jacob Lewis got the scoring going in a dominating performance from both sides of the ball.

Bishop McGuinness looks like the team that went in to Kelley and smacked the Comets around.  After tonight’s 56-7 win over the Owls, the Irish made it three wins in a row, and no more tough games remain on the schedule.

The new and improved Irish offense certainly seems like it is finally clicking.  It has finally sunk in, and it’s a whole new ball game for teams playing the Irish.

Last week the run game was what won the game in Elk City, but the aerial attack was what kept Elgin from even competing.  Camden Tharp threw five touchdown passes on the night, and despite the loss of Austin Augustus, Tharp is still left with plenty of options.

Cody Chancellor made two great touchdown catches, and also David Love seems to be one of Camden’s favorite targets in the redzone after catching one of Tharp’s touchdowns.  Senior Duncan Branum and sophomore Will Martinez also found the endzone to contribute to the Irish scoring fest.

The defense can go unmentioned in this game, though.  Despite a second half touchdown when it was an eight touchdown game, the Irish defense looked better than ever.  The Irish keep wreaking havoc, and the usuals are coming up big; Brandon Nguyen, Jeffrey Pozo, Charlie Evenson, Bradley Fritch, Duncan Branum.  However, senior Tyler Konarik was on crutches for most of the game, and his status is unknown on when we will see him back in a his #6 jersey.

Thankfully, the Irish got the job done, pressuring Elgin senior QB Garrett Lorah and not allowing anything huge from Elgin senior RB Kevin Brown.

However, it was not all fun and games.  The scariest part of the night came with 9:01 left in the fourth quarter.  Elgin sophomore WR Keegan Speas took a hit from a fellow Owl, and could not get up for about half an hour.  From what we learned, he could move his fingers and toes, but paramedics carried him off the field on a stretcher and was transported to a local hospital.

Please pray that the injury is nothing too serious, and keep Keegan and his family in your thoughts.
