Box Score The Moeller Crusaders picked up yet another impressive road win, and this time without their starting quarterback. #7
Van George stepped up to the challenge in his first start of the season and led the Crusaders to a 25-7 victory at Ironton on Friday night.
Sophomore quarterback
Van George was 17-22 for 268 yards, and 3 touchdowns. He showed poise in the pocket and was excellent when it mattered most. He got a lot of help from #10
Tennel Bryant, who continued to show why he leads this team in receptions this season. George and Bryant connected on a 57-yard touchdown pass that put the Crusaders ahead two scores late in the first quarter.
The Crusaders were able to effectively spread the ball around all night long. #3
Brandon White caught 4 passes for 26 yards, including an awesome leaping touchdown grab in the back of the endzone. #84
Joshua Kattus and #19
Jared Merk also got a piece of the action, especially Kattus who led the way with 81 receiving yards. #24
Jordan Marshall and #6
Alec Weeder split carries in the backfield for a combined total of 118 yards.Â
Moeller's defense was pitching a shut out until late in the 4
th quarter when Ironton scored with 23 seconds left in the game. #46
Joseph Ginnetti led the charge with 6.5 tackles and 1TFL, as the Crusaders put together a total team effort on defense. Moeller was also able to force some huge turnovers including a fumble and 2 interceptions from #14
Isaiah Summerlin. Ironton was never able to get on track with their offense, the Crusader defense deserves a lot of credit for this huge road win.
We now enter, what everyone knows, is the biggest week of the season. ITS X WEEK!!!
Moeller (4-0) travels to Nippert Stadium Friday night to take on their GCL rival The St. Xavier Bombers in what should be another classic battle. St. Xavier (4-0) is the #1 team in the state of Ohio and the defending state champions.
These two teams share a lot of history and look to write another chapter of this storied rivalry Friday night.
