"Eight years of frustration, Danny Sullivan smiled, the first words out of the coach's mouth after breaking away from his team's hooting and hollering on the visitor's sideline. For the first time under his watch, Archbishop Mitty toppled WCAL rival St. Ignatius on Friday night. It wasn't even as close as the 37-23 final score would indicate. The Monarchs (3-1, 1-0) got 234 yards on the ground from senior Lazaro Faraj-Washington,"
"He ran the ball 34 times, including three carries of 30-plus yards and another 19-yard gain, topping 200 total for the first time in his career. It was just a lot of pent up we haven't beat these guys in eight years, said the running back, who scored three times. He told me he was on the last team to beat them, so I had to make history repeat itself."
Archbishop Mitty defeated WCAL rival St. Ignatius 37-23, snapping an eight-year losing streak in the series. The Monarchs rushed for 234 yards from senior Lazaro Faraj-Washington, who carried 34 times, had three carries over 30 yards, a 19-yard gain, and scored three touchdowns while surpassing 200 yards for the first time. Mitty forced three turnovers and held St. Ignatius without a first down for most of the game. The margin reached 37-7 with 8:31 remaining before reserves entered. The victory matched Mitty's win total from last season's conference play and marked the program's first win over St. Ignatius since 2016.
