O’Dea Shuts Out Undefeated Bishop Blanchet
By Colin Caruso

In the twentieth anniversary of Blanchet’s last win over the O’Dea Fighting Irish, the Braves fans and sideline were expecting something special. This was a very dominate Blanchet team, coming in to this Catholic matchup at 5-0, looking for an upset. But the Irish had other plans.

O’Dea took down the Bishop Blanchet Braves by a final of 35-0. Granted, the score wasn’t as indicative of the game play, as Blanchet had two drives inside the O’Dea ten yard line, and a total of six drives finishing in O’Dea territory. The Braves’ big crutch was penalties and four costly turnovers which all eventually turned into O’Dea scores.

O’Dea stuck with their typical ground and pound offense, with Myles Gaskin getting the bulk of the carries for the Irish. He scored their second touchdown of the game, and quarterback Pierre LeDorze capitalized on three short runs, all resulting in touchdowns. Blanchet will have to wait one more year to see if they can top the Irish. With their outrageously strong sophomore class, there is a chance that this now 20 year losing streak could come to an end soon.
