Football: Lourdes falls to Rye, 13-7
Liam McGhee had two sacks, and Chris Mulvey, Cameron Jones, Sean McDowell and Kenny Rogan each had a sack for Lourdes (4-2). Timm and Joe Scaglione each had an interception.
“We were both 3-2, so this was a big win for us,” Lourdes coach Brian Walsh said. “Coming off a loss last week, we needed to do well. Our defense did a really good job.”
The Warriors will play an opponent to be determined next week in the Section 1 playoff qualifier round. The seeding and matchups for that will be decided on Sunday.
