Football: Here comes Paraclete

Coach Dean Herrington is beginning to see lots of progress in his players at Paraclete, and that means trouble for opponents in Southern Section Division 6.

The Spirits have been playing some tough nonleague foes, such as Los Alamitos and Oaks Christian, but they came up with their their biggest win yet on Friday night with a 22-21 victory over St. Bonaventure to improve to 3-3.

Quarterback Tooni Ikahihifo completed 13 of 24 passes for 238 ayrds and two touchdowns.

Receiver Bobby Brown had four catches for 137 yards, including an 83-yard TD catch.

Receiver Branden Smith had a TD catch and iced the win with an interception.

Linebacker KJ Latu contributed 12 tackles and had the game-winning two-point conversion reception.

Now the Spirits begin play in the Gold Coast League, and they’re going to be building up their stats in preparation for the playoffs.
