Too be honest, the game was not as well-played as the game last week between Stepinac and Cardinal Hayes (both games were on msgvarsity.com) which Stepinac won 20-12. There were multiple turnovers by both Stepinac and St. Francis. But Stepinac held it’s nerve and deserved to win. There are some highlights here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Game was played outside Buffalo. Stepinac saw a 28-0 lead shrink to 35-28, but came good in the end. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tyquell Fields said his ankle felt \u201chorrible\u201d after the game, but he limped off the field a state champion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Archbishop Stepinac senior quarterback threw four touchdown passes as the Crusaders secured their first CHSAA championship with a 42-28 win over St. Francis on Saturday at dreary Gene Masters Field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A high ankle sprain suffered in the CHSFL title game kept Fields in the pocket and limited his ability to plant on throws, but senior T.J. Morrison (nine catches, 200 yards) caught three of Fields\u2019 four TD passes and added a fourth on a halfback pass from Antonio Giannico to lead the Crusaders\u2019 offensive attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 6-foot-3 senior, playing through a badly ankle sprain suffered in last week\u2019s NYCHSFL championship win over Hayes, completed 17 of 28 passes for 243 yards and four touchdowns.<\/p>\n

T.J. Morrison had four touchdown grabs, including one on a halfback pass from Antonio Giannico. Morrison finished with 10 catches for 209 yards for Stepinac, which finishes the season unbeaten after falling in last year\u2019s inaugural state title game to Canisius (Buffalo).<\/p>\n
