CLINTON -- St. Teresa sophomore
running back Zach Jarrett rushed for 293 yards and three touchdowns on
26 carries to break open a close game early in a 54-18 Bulldogs win on
Friday.
St. Teresa was ahead 7-0 after a quarter and Clinton got within a point, 7-6, after a Tyler Vidmar 38-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter.
But a 62-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Althoff to Brannan Taylor put the Bulldogs ahead, then a 15-yard touchdown run by Jarrett gave the Bulldogs (4-1, 3-0 Central Illinois Conference) a 20-6 lead at half. A 60-yard Jarrett touchdown run and 20-yard TD run by Fyke made it 34-6 after three quarters.
Also for the Bulldogs, Chris Hein rushed for 142 yards and two touchdowns on just seven carries.
Clinton (2-3, 1-2) was led by Vidmar with 111 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
"Defensively we played very well, especially with our first group," Clinton coach John Hayden said. "Offensively we hung around most of the game, but we played too sloppy to be competitive as a whole, so we have to get better in that."
