Fargas Carries Notre Dame, 37-14

Justin Fargas rushed for 269 yards and three second-half touchdowns and Notre Dame High amassed 495 yards in a 37-14 nonleague victory over Burroughs on Friday night.

The Knights (2-0) rushed for 431 yards and five touchdowns, and quarterback Jorge Piedra had 111 yards in 11 carries and scored on a 55-yard run.

Fargas, who had 20 carries, scored on runs of one, 41 and 50 yards as Notre Dame pulled away in the second half.

“When our offensive line is aggressive and dominates the way they did tonight, it makes a world of difference for me,” Fargas said.

“I just try to run hard and get the most out of every play.”

The Knights led only 14-6 at halftime, but Fargas bolted through a hole off tackle early in the third quarter and went 41 yards to give Notre Dame breathing room.

On the Knights’ next series, Fargas scored on a 50-yard run to give Notre Dame a 27-6 lead midway through the third quarter.

Fargas closed out Notre Dame’s scoring with a one-yard run midway through the fourth quarter.

Quarterback J.K. Scott led Burroughs (1-1), completing 16 of 36 passes for 176 yards and two touchdowns.

He threw one interception.

Brian Criscuolo had five catches for 67 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown, and Glen Adriatico finished with six receptions for 45 yards for the Indians.
