It was a gorgeous day for a football game, and this one was being played out
on the Grade A turf at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
Chaminade struck first with a field goal by Michael Dubon. The Flyers were pumped up, however Dubon's three points were all they were able to put up on the scoreboard for the rest of the game. From there on in all the scoring was done by the Men in Black.
Doug Cion had 112 yards on 16 carries for St. Anthony's.
St. Anthony's took the lead for good, 6-3, on an 80-yard pass from Chris Eanuzel to Brian Bogdanski with three minutes left in the first quarter.
