"Seeing his potent passing attack sputtering, coach Dylen Smith switched to the ground game in the second half and the Dolphins overcame a 13-point deficit to pull out a 35-28 intersectional victory over host Mary Star of the Sea. 'My message at halftime was we need to run the ball and we don't need to win the game on one pass,' said Smith, who piloted Palisades to the City Section Division I final last fall."
"Carter caught a 25-yard touchdown pass from Jack Thomas for the first points of the second half and later took a pitch around left end for a 50-yard score that cut the Dolphins' deficit to 28-21 with 5:47 left in the third quarter. After drawing double coverage and being held to one catch through three and a half quarters, star receiver Demare Dezeurn caught two touchdown passes with less than six minutes left, the second a juggling 46-yarder for the go-ahead score with 1:21 remaining."
Palisades trailed 20-7 at halftime but rallied to a 35-28 victory over Mary Star of the Sea. Coach Dylen Smith shifted to the running game in the second half to spark the comeback. Jack Thomas finished nine of 16 for 123 yards and four touchdowns after being held to 17 first-half passing yards. Harrison Carter rushed for 123 yards, caught three passes for 40 yards, and provided key plays including a 25-yard TD reception and a 50-yard rushing score. Demare Dezeurn caught two late touchdown passes, including a juggling 46-yarder with 1:21 remaining. Johnny Rivera rushed 40 times for 217 yards and four touchdowns for Mary Star, and Carter broke up a fourth-and-10 pass with 12 seconds left to seal the win.
