Blottiaux Kicks Servite to 6-0 Victory

Servite High School (1-0-1) squandered several scoring opportunities, but still managed to hold off Marina, 6-0, in a nonleague football game in front of 2,000 at Glover Stadium.

It wasn’t the prettiest of victories, but it’s one Servite Coach Leo Hand will take.

Senior kicker Pat Blottiaux kicked field goals of 55 and 56 yards.

The second one, which came with 50 seconds remaining in the game, cleared the crossbar by 10 yards.

“We’re a long way from becoming a good football team,” Hand said. “We missed several scoring chances tonight due to penalties, and that hurt us.”

Servite tailback Derek Brown, who gained 182 yards in 33 carries, had touchdown runs of 53 and 41 yards called back because of penalties.

The Marina (0-2) defense was outstanding, stopping Servite three times inside the five-yard line. But the Vikings could never mount much of an offense as the Friar defense held Marina to 120 total yards.

“We had great defense but no offense,” said Marina Coach Chris Ramsey. “We wanted a split in our opening two games, but after losing to Esperanza and Servite, we have nothing to be ashamed of.”

Servite quarterback Jason Frank had a rough evening as he was 3 of 10 for 27 yards and one interception.
