Flag Football Team Making Push for Postseason

SAN FRANCISCO - With the regular season winding down, the Archbishop Riordan varsity girls flag football team is looking to finish strong and reach the Central Coast Section playoffs.

Last Saturday, the team made a step toward accomplishing that goal with a resounding 53-12 non-league victory over Marin Catholic at Mayer Family Field.

The Crusaders currently hold a 9-8 overall record and are 1-8 in West Bay Athletic League play. They close the regular season with three WBAL contests - this Monday at St. Ignatius, this coming Saturday at home against Sacred Heart Cathedral and October 28 vs. Archbishop Mitty at Kezar Stadium.

Varsity Football Remains Unbeaten in WCAL Play

LOS ALTOS HILLS - Adonyae Brown had two rushing touchdowns and Jeffrey-Daniel Palega caught a long touchdown pass from Braxton LaRosa as Archbishop Riordan defeated Archbishop Mitty 22-7 in West Catholic Athletic League varsity football action at Foothill College on Friday.

The three touchdowns and a field goal by Conor Wallace were enough points for a Crusader defense that held the Monarchs to just one first half score and forced three turnovers.

Archbishop Riordan is now 5-2 overall and 4-0 in WCAL play. The team will play its final road game of regular season at Valley Christian this coming Friday at 7 pm.
