Sights and Sounds: Week 8 (Video and Recap)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>ALBUQUERQUE </strong>– Going into Friday night's Week 8 action in District 4A-2, St. Pius X was hoping for a win over red hot Portales and a Chaparral loss to Silver on the road.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>They got both.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>St. Pius X took care of its own business with an emphatic 45-7 victory over Portales at Milne Stadium. The Sartans took control of the game by scoring 17 points in the second quarter for a 24-0 halftime lead.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The lead grew to 31-0 in the third quarter before Portales scored its only points of the game on a long catch-and-run by sophomore <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1613398' first='Slade' last='Segovia']</strong>, one of the few big plays the Rams defense was able to muster on the night against the stout St. Pius X defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Meanwhile, in Silver City, the Colts defense limited Chaparral to fewer than 250 yards of total offense in a 21-13 victory for Silver's first district win of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chaparral (6-2, 3-1) now leads St. Pius X (5-1, 2-1) and Albuquerque Academy (4-3, 2-1) by one-half game in the District 4A-2 standings. The Chargers beat Manzano, 43-15, Saturday afternoon to move into a second-place tie with St. Pius X.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chaparral makes the long trip to Albuquerque next Saturday for a monster 2 p.m. clash against St. Pius X at Milne Stadium. If the Lobos win, they would own the tiebreaker over both the Sartans and Chargers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Friday, St. Pius X took the opening kickoff and drove 75 yards in 4:38 for the game's first score. [player_tooltip player_id='1613459' first='Ezra' last='Ocampo'] ran for the short yardage score out of the Wildcat to give the Sartans an early 7-0 lead.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Placekicker Preston Terrazas' 27-yard field goal with 9:27 left in the second quarter gave St. Pius X a 10-0 lead as the Sartans continued to dominate time of possession. [player_tooltip player_id='1154954' first='Hershul' last='Olloway'] ran for a 7-yard TD after two previous long runs were nullified by penalties to make it 17-0.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>St. Pius X closed out the first half on a high note as QB [player_tooltip player_id='1154948' first='Isaiah' last='Carpenter'] connected with WR [player_tooltip player_id='1155012' first='Curtis' last='Flakes III'] on a deep pass down the seam for a 49-yard TD in the final minute that gave the Sartans a 24-0 halftime lead.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moments after Portales missed a field goal attempt early in the third quarter, St. Pius X struck quickly as Carpenter fired a 39-yard TD pass to WR <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1154956' first='Cayl' last='Cox-Liggins']</strong> for a 31-0 lead with about 8 minutes left.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Consecutive third quarter scores by <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1154954' first='Hershul' last='Olloway']</strong> on an 88-yard run&nbsp; and another long TD pass from <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1154948' first='Isaiah' last='Carpenter']</strong> to <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1154956' first='Cayl' last='Cox-Liggins']</strong> from 32 yards out pushed St. Pius X's lead to 45-7 and brought on the running clock.
