Murphy Dominates ‘Bishop Battle’ Against Blanchet
By Steve Dion
Archbishop Murphy kicked of the 3rd annual Memorial Classic in dominant fashion as a 52 point outburst in the first half allowed the Wildcats to cruise to victory over their Metro League counterpart. Desi Carey opened the scoring with a 32 yard TD grab early which opened the floodgates. Collin Montez followed that up with a interception for touchdown and a 19 yard rumble to the endzone. The rout continued when Kyler Gordon matched Montez with touchdowns on defense and offense. The game was one sided from the start and Murphy opens their season with a combined margin of victory of 132-0 after their win last week against Issaquah.
Bishop Blanchet will look to start anew in 2016 after advancing to the state semifinals a year ago. Meanwhile, Murphy has emerged early as a frontrunner to be not only one of the best teams in 2A, but in the entire state of Washington.
The Final Score:
Archbishop Murphy 59, Bishop Blanchet 0.
