Friday football: Singleton delivers TCP to the promised land
Tri-Cities Prep has suffered its share of losses to DeSales over the years, but the past two season have been all Jaguars.
TCP led 20-7 at the half, and held on to beat the Irish 26-7 on Friday in the annual Holy Bowl between the Catholic schools to keep the coveted trophy in Pasco.
The rain-soaked field kept the passing game to a minimum, but the Jaguars found success on the ground as quarterback Kobe Singleton ran for 149 yards and two touchdowns, and Bubba Valencia rolled up 121 yards as TCP finished with 335 yards rushing.
DeSales quarterback Dante Maiuri completed 11 of 30 passes for 99 yards, but threw three interceptions in the EWAC showdown.
Cole Hiett, Jacob Levy and Mike Shepherd all had interceptions for TCP, with Shepherd returning his pick 30 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter.
Zerek Baker accounted for TCP’s other score, a 5-yard run in the second quarter.
The Irish scored their lone touchdown in the second quarter on an 80-yard kickoff return by Juan Montero.
