Dominant second half earns Stepinac another state crown
The Crusaders were overwhelming in the second half, rolling up 40 points in a 49-28 victory at Canisius' Koessler Field to earn their second state title in three years.
"All year long we were working hard trying to be the best we can be," said junior safety Tyler DeCrescenzo, who had an interception and returned a fumble for a touchdown. "Our No. 1 goal was to win a state championship and we accomplished it. Nothing gets better than this.
The euphoria from last week's CHSFL championship win over St. Anthony's continued Saturday behind more brilliance from Trill Williams. The senior won his duel with Rutgers-bound Paul Woods, allowing just one reception head to head and registering an interception. He also scored three touchdowns on offense.
Awesome. The article mentions that Canisius defeated Stepinac in the first state championship four years ago, a game Tim played in. Stepinac has only missed the State championship game once and that was last year when they lost at the last second to Cardinal Hayes in the Metropolitan area championship game.
