McQUAID (5-0) 23
AQUINAS (3-2) 9
After slow starts and early deficits created far too much unnecessary angst over the first month of the season for McQuaid’s football, head coach Bobby Bates said the focus this week was on starting fast. So what happens on Friday night, when McQuaid and Aquinas met in the 60th anniversary showdown of this storied rivalry between cross-town Catholic institutions? Aquinas running back Derrion Battle takes the first play from scrimmage 82 yards for a touchdown and, two series later, Quante Gillians slings down McQuaid quarterback Will DiMarco in the end zone for a safety. In the blink of an eye, the host Li’l Irish led 9-0. So much for that fast McQuaid start. Of course, the Knights have proven time and time again already this season that little fazes them. This current edition of McQuaid football seems intent on redefining resiliency. READ MORE.
