Fri. S.J. football roundup: Deptford inches past Eustace

Posted: October 06, 2012

Deptford capped a wild fourth quarter with a last-minute touchdown to beat Bishop Eustace, 35-34, in a West Jersey Royal football game Friday night.

Anthony Parsons' second touchdown run of the game, a 9-yarder, put Deptford (3-2, 3-1) ahead with less than a minute remaining.

In a last-ditch effort, Bishop Eustace drove to the edge of field-goal range before Deptford forced a fumble. The Crusaders (2-2, 1-2) had taken advantage of a fumbled kickoff by Deptford in the fourth quarter to claim a 34-28 lead.

Parsons

finished with 94 yards. Teammate Jody Ellis carried 17 times for 154 yards and three touchdowns.

Timber Creek bounced back from a tough loss by scoring 21 fourth-quarter points in a 34-6 win at Moorestown.

Bryce Shade and Khalil Pierce each ran for two touchdowns for the Chargers (3-2, 2-1).

West Jersey National

Kingsway took a step forward in the league with a 24-13 victory over visiting Triton.

Ray Lawry's first-half touchdown run opened the scoring and Brandon Irving's 18-yard scamper in the third quarter gave the Dragons a 14-0 advantage.

Josh Woods' touchdown run later in the third brought Triton back into the game, but the momentum proved short-lived.

The Dragons (3-2, 2-1) reasserted control in the fourth on Irving's second scoring run and a 20-yard field goal by Tyler Bell.

On Friday, Hills ran for touchdowns of 12 and 22 yards and returned a punt 60 yards in the first half as Wildwood opened a 22-8 lead. Francis Christian also had a 16-yard touchdown run for the Warriors (4-1, 2-1).

Cape-Atlantic American

Holy Spirit remained a factor in the league race by winning its second straight game, an 18-0 victory at Absegami.

Cape-American National

Quasheem Taylor rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner in the fourth quarter, to lead Bridgeton to a 14-8 win at Buena.
