At least it won’t be a shutout.

Encino Crespi quarterback Bryan Bennett connected with Devin Lucien on a 54-yard touchdown pass. Patrick McDonough’s extra point reduced Anaheim Servite’s lead to 31-7 with :46 seconds left in the third quarter.

The Friars answered 11 seconds later with Christopher Nicholls breaking to the nearside of the field and into the endzone. Nicholls’ 90-yard touchdown off a kickoff return illustrated how Servite can score much quicker than Crespi. The Celts’ touchdown came off a 14-play, 67-yard drive that took 5:43. The Friars lead 38-7 after three quarters.
