But Cathedral was not done putting up points in the first quarter. Kendall Washington and Ben Foster each had 2-yard TD runs as the Green Wave would take a commanding 34-0 lead.
The Green Wave would not score again until there was 7:31 remaining in the third quarter when Hollis Lees threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Joseph Garrity.
Meanwhile, CHEF could not find any traction offensively. The Patriots had just seven first downs and 86 yards of total offense while turning the ball over five times.
