Guerin Catholic gives Trojans run for their money in tight conference play

Guerin Catholic came close to knocking off Bishop Chatard on Friday, before falling in a tough Circle City Conference game 31-30 at the Trojans’ field.

The Golden Eagles led 17-10 at halftime. Jack Cherry had an outstanding first half, catching a 75-yard touchdown pass from Malcolm Houze, then punching the ball in from the one-yard line.

Chatard came back in the third period to lead 24-17 and got the first touchdown of the fourth quarter to lead 31-17. Houze and Cherry teamed up again on a four-yard scoring pass, and GC was within 31-24. Evan Guenthner was 4-of-4 on extra-point kicks and also had a second-quarter field goal.

The Golden Eagles scored again late in the fourth quarter. Houze threw a pass to Will Fremion, who took it in 44 yards to score. Guerin Catholic went for a two-point conversion, but it didn’t go.

Houze had a great game, going 19-of-37 for 281 yards. Both Fremion and Cherry had seven receptions, with Fremion gaining 129 yards and Cherry totaling 120 yards.

The Golden Eagles finished conference play 0-3 and are 3-3 overall. Guerin Catholic hosts Northview next Friday.
