The St. Paul’s defense forced three turnovers while the offense came up with several big plays in the second quarter to grind out a 24-7 nondistrict win over De La Salle at Hunter Stadium on Friday.
“I thought we played pretty good for the first two quarters, but we have to put together a complete game,” St. Paul’s coach Kenny Sears said. “We had a turnover and missed a field goal in the second half, and all of those things add up. I thought our defensive effort was outstanding. We just have to put it all together.”
The game seemingly was decided in the final moments of the first half. De La Salle had just cut the St. Paul’s lead to three points midway through the second quarter, but the Wolves (2-1) benefited from some big plays on offense to flip the score and build a 24-7 halftime lea
