"We're resilient, said Franzino, who needed to be helped off the field after he was tackled out of bounds going for 2 on the go-ahead score. We're a really gritty team. Stuff goes bad and we're still going to be strong and stay together. I love that about this team. We're all warriors. We preach on that. If it's not broken, no blood, we're gonna play."
"Things were less assured when the drive began at their own 20-yard line, when they faced third-and-23 around midfield and then a fourth-and-3 with less than a minute to go. It felt good because we don't have to worry no more, Keanaaina said of his emotions crossing the goal line. It's a great feeling to have. I felt like we shouldn't have been close. We had everything to win, but (there were) those mistakes that happen"
St. Francis rallied from a 13-0 first-quarter deficit to defeat Archbishop Mitty 20-19. Andrew Franzino led a late scoring drive, completing five of six passes after getting the ball back with 6:18 remaining. Motu Keanaaina barreled across from a yard out to score the go-ahead touchdown. Franzino was helped off after being tackled out of bounds on a 2-point attempt and has a hyperextended right knee wrapped in ice but expects to play. Keanaaina battled ankle troubles, finished with a game-high 130 yards on 20 carries, and had four chances from the 1-yard line before scoring. The Lancers improved to 2-4 overall and 2-1 in West Catholic Athletic League play after starting 0-4 against a tough nonconference schedule.
