St. Pius X had not beaten Westminster since 1992, with the Wildcats winning 17 of the last 18 matchups, but Geno Smith and Trey White wouldn’t let the 2012 Golden Lions go down again. Geno Smith scored twice in the first half as St. Pius built a 21-7 lead three minutes into the second quarter. The Wildcats managed to trail just 21-10 at intermission thanks to a 98-yard kick return for a score from Cameron Seward and a school-record 51-yard field goal from junior Harrison Butker. Grey Notterman would haul in a 12-yard touchdown pass from Danny Catan and another Butker field goal would tie the game at 21-21 entering the fourth quarter. Geno Smith’s 43-yard run set up a Logan Rosborough one-yard fullback blast to give St. Pius the 28-21 victory. (to watch the game, go to gpb.org/sports)
in other action....
Collins Hill was without Taylor Heinicke but Eagles head coach Kevin Reach had another secret weapon in running back Jordan Parker who finished with 24 carries, notching 210 yards and two scores as Collins Hill rallied from down 21-7 early to beat Roswell 24-21...Central Gwinnett would benefit from five Mountain View turnovers, scoring on four of the miscues to win 54-14. George Morris scored four times for the Black Knights...Etowah teed off on Berkmar, outscoring the Patriots 48-14 as six different Eagles scored in the victory...The Mays Raiders defense came to play and carried the offense all the way to a 31-6 victory over Dunwoody in Region 6-4A play. Mays forced four turnovers and returned a fumble for a score in the victory...For the second straight season Parkview gave Stephenson everything the Jaguars could handle, but for the second straight season, Stephenson came away with a victory. Mike Davis made a nice run to score on a 79-yard scamper and then the future Kentucky Wildcat DeMarcus Sweat took a punt 75 yards for a score in Stephenson’s 14-3 win...The scoring was short and sweet in the North Atlanta/South Atlanta tilt but a 30-yard Matt Headley field goal is all North Atlanta would need in its 3-0 season-opening victory...Finally Centennial needed a last-minute score to complete a 27-22 comeback victory, but Jimmy Meyer plunged in from one yard out to secure the win.
