Special teams Player of the Year: Matt Elsasser, St. John’s

A 41-yard bomb that put DeMatha up 28-0 over McNamara.

Mziray made a beautiful interception over his shoulder late in the Cadets’ win over Gonzaga.
Hit of the Week: Ed Thomas, St. John’s
Charles Brown did much of the offensive work for the Cadets but Thomas takes the award for running over a Gonzaga defender on a 13-yard carry. You’ve got to watch the video to understand.
Quote of the Week: Andre Monroe, St. John’s
“When you come out with fire in your ****, man, there’s no telling what you can do.”
St. John’s 27, Gonzaga 14
In a historic 80-year rivalry, the Cadets pulled out an impressive win over a Gonzaga team that finished the season much better than it started. The Cadets scored 13 straight points after the two teams were tied at 14.
Bullis 36, St. Mary’s Ryken 0
Let’s just channel that Week 1 win over Annapolis Area Christian and remember that St. Mary’s Ryken is still learning.
DeMatha 42, McNamara 7
The Stags have been dominant down the stretch of the season and Tommy Chroniger keeps impressing. Chroniger passed for three touchdowns on 9-of-11 passing for 184 yards. He also rushed five times for 76 yards.
Good Counsel 44, Carroll 0
The offense always gets the credit, but let’s take time to point out that the Falcons defense has allowed nine points in the past four games.
O’Connell 16, Paul VI 0
The Knights lost their playoff spot to McNamara but went out with a win over their rival for the seventh straight season. Greg Gadell ran 18 times for 144 yards and a 6-yard touchdown.
