“It was a good night for us,” said Mount Si coach Charlie Kinnune. “Our offense is really running on all cylinders right now; our defense, for the most part, is doing a pretty good job with the big plays.”

The scoring opened quickly for the Wildcats in the first quarter. After the defense sent the Islander offense packing on their opening drive, Mount Si’s offense got to work. A 30-yard pass from Tyson Riley to Rossco Castagno set up Snead, who then ran the ball three times, finishing with a three-yard scamper into the end zone for the 6-0 Wildcat lead.
