7th-Grade Flag Football Coached by Kris and Brad Zacuto, St. Matthew’s defeated host Brentwood, 34-6, last Tuesday in its Junior Delphic League opener. The Falcons were led by quarterback Andrew Goldberg, who threw two touchdown passes and two successful conversion passes. Halfbacks James Ondaatje and Chris Barnum each had a touchdown catch to lead the St. Matthew’s offense. Jackson Liquori led the Falcons with three touchdowns and a two-point conversion. Jackson scored on a 45-yard interception return and caught scoring passes of 20 and 52 yards. A.J. Hong rushed 10 yards for the Falcons’ first touchdown and Conner Gill caught a 15-yard touchdown pass from Goldberg. Offensive linemen John Rockwell, Barrett Meister, Cary Kriegsman and Christian Williams blocked well to lead the Falcons’ attack. St. Matthew’s also played solid defense, forcing Brentwood to punt on its first possession. Middle linebacker Marcus Hogsta intercepted a pass on the Eagles’ next drive while Goldberg, Williams, Barnum, Ondaatje, Rockwell, Daniel Deloje, Daniel Ohriner, Starr Hathaway and Liquori also made big defensive plays. Also contributing to the victory were Jeremy McLennan, Greg London, Jack Kuhlenschmidt, Shahrod Khalkhali, Evan Biscow and Nick Albarino.
