Friday’s games

Morse 13, Carson 6--Third-ranked Morse dealt another blow to the ego of Carson late Friday, scoring a 13-6 victory over the team that entered the year ranked second nationally and No. 1 in the nation.

The Tigers (3-0) scored on the first play of the game after Conan Smith returned the kickoff 42 yards. Quarterback Ray Barnes sprinted 53 yards untouched on a quarterback keeper.

Barnes scored on a counter-option play that Morse had run unsuccessfully against RBV a week earlier. The first play of the game was the only time it was successful against Carson.

Morse took the 7-0 lead into halftime on the strength of its defense, which had limited the Colts to 34 yards offensively, including only two rushing. Carson finished with 160 net yards, including 60 on a pass play in which the ball was stripped from the receiver’s hands and Morse recovered at its own 9.

That play drew two 15-yard penalties on the Carson coaching staff, and the game was stopped to try to ease the tension among the Colts. In all, Carson was whistled for 128 yards in penalties.

“There was a lot of tension in the game,” Morse Coach John Shacklett said. “Not so much on our part, but on theirs. . . . I think it was (frustration): They’re 0-2-1 after being No. 2 in nation. That’s always tough when you don’t always measure up to what people outside the program think. It’s just a matter of time before they put it together, and I sure as hell don’t want to be around when they do.”

Francis Parker 51, St. Margaret’s 21--Scott Schneider matched his own section record, passing for eight touchdowns in a 394-yard performance Friday against the San Juan Capistrano school. Schneider’s primary target was Matt Garrett, who caught a section-record five touchdown passes of 30, 63, 6, 41 and 8 yards. He completed 17 of 39 passes and had one interception.

Garrett finished with eight receptions for 235 yards.

Schneider’s three other scoring strikes were of 6, 43 and 45 yards to Charles Pope. Pope had six receptions for 151 yards.

The 394 yards passing was sixth-best in section history, and one less than eight-man record-holder Jeff Moore of Midway Baptist.
