The Clearwater Central Catholic Mauraders outclassed the Tampa Catholic(TC) Crusaders at the victor’s home field with an almost packed house. Tampa Catholic’s most impressive moment occurred during the captains’ meeting for the coin toss. The Crusaders sent out 4 of their largest lineman with their helmets on in an apparent attempt to intimidate. They dwarfed the 2 CCC captains.
Once the game started it was obvious the plan did not work as the Mauraders defense stymied TC’s offense time after time. TC ‘s WR TJ Moore caught a beautiful TD pass that was nullified by a holding penalty. Moore is 6’3” Clemson commit. He is smooth as silk and appears to be legit. Unfortunately, TC’s ATH Jameer Grimsley, an Alabama commit, was injured so he did not play.
The real story of the night was CCC’s domination. They took it to the Crusaders all game in all phases of the game. The Mauraders junior QB Jershaun Newton ran and passed impressively. In my opinion the major difference was CCC’s coaches had their team ready to play and TC played with markedly less energy.
This was a 3M Region 3 clash of evenly ranked opponents. The result of the game says otherwise.
