The CA Football team improved to 6-0 for the season on Friday, September 27, following a stellar performance under the remnants of Hurricane Helene, traveling to Whitehall and hammering the Rams 34-6.

The Vikings asserted their dominance from the start, forcing a fumble on their first defensive play and allowing quarterback Cole S. to run the ball in from 20 yards out on the second play of the game, claiming the 7-0 lead. The Rams couldn’t respond, and Academy lengthened its lead by 7 after Cole tallied his second touchdown from one yard out. Another quick 3-and-out allowed Gabe D-R. to capitalize, claiming another rushing touchdown and the 21-0 Academy lead that lasted through the half.

Academy opened the second half with another score as Cole hit Gabe with a 37-yard touchdown pass up the sideline, tallying 6 points with a failed 2-point conversion.  

The Vikings sealed the game in the fourth quarter when Cole threw a 34-yard touchdown pass to Levi M., bringing their total to 34. A last-ditch run by the Rams found the endzone for 6 which closed out the game. 

Things are looking good for Academy as it hosts rival Bexley on Friday, October 4, in search of both a Senior Night and rival game win.
