Last week against the West Catholic football team, Archbishop Carroll quarterback Russell Minor-Shaw was too much to handle. He terrorized a Burrs defense with his feet and arm on the way to a two-touchdown victory.

One week later, not much has changed. Except, Minor-Shaw has made a new Catholic League opponent his victim on the field. The senior quarterback scored three rushing touchdowns as the Patriots defeated Cardinal O’Hara, 26-7, to improve to 3-2 on Friday.

Minor-Shaw led a touchdown scoring drive in the fourth quarter after the Lions made it a 20-7 contest. O’Hara didn’t get on the board until quarterback Cole Sprague rushed in for a quarterback sneak. Tyler Alston recorded a rushing score in the second quarter and Nick Lamey had an interception. The Patriots play at Conwell-Egan next week.

Aaron Maione did it on both sides of the ball in Penn Charter’s 56-0 victory over Upper Dublin. He hauled in a 41-yard touchdown pass and had an interception return for a touchdown.

Kyle Jones had one passing and rushing score apiece. Colin Schumm, Seamus McCain, Matthew Marshall and Ohifame Ijeboi scored two rushing touchdowns.

Marcus McDaniel recorded three touchdowns — two rushing and one passing — to help Episcopal Academy down Hill School, 21-7. McDaniel connected with Malcolm Folk for a 63-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter.

Garnet Valley downed Radnor, 42-7, thanks to Ryan Gallagher’s three touchdowns, including a 58-yard passing score to Reece Malek. That connection between Gallagher and Malek brought the Jaguars’ lead to three touchdowns, but they didn’t let up offensively.

Malek also returned a punt for a touchdown midway through the second quarter. Greg Reynolds and Sam Morin added scores on the ground.

Andrew Vince’s rushing touchdown late in the third quarter led Souderton past Pennridge, 24-21, to improve to 5-0 on the season. He also connected with Evan Kutzler for a 69-yard touchdown pass to open up the score in the contest. Jalen White added one score on the ground. William Leyland booted in a field goal.
