Game of the Week: UHigh wins at Catholic High School 2721
Sep 21, 2024
BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPOUD) — U-High at Catholic High School is a game many fans circled on their calendars. Last year's meeting ended with U-High kicking a last-second field goal to win 31-30.
It looked like another heavy-weight fight between the Cubs and Bears. Catholic is ranked third in Class 5A, and they just snapped St. Thomas More's 25-game winning streak. U-High was coming off a loss, but they battled powerhouse Rummel until the end.
The eighth edition of the U-High and Catholic rivalry lived up to the hype. The Bears found the end zone on their opening drive with a Jayden Miles rushing touchdown. Catholic kept its foot on the gas, taking a 14-0 lead with seven minutes left in the first, behind a Turner Goldsmith rushing touchdown.
U-High didn't flinch, forcing the game into overtime, tied at 21-21. On the first play of OT, Cubs quarterback Emile Picarella hit Zay Martin for a touchdown. Bears had a chance to tie the game, but Luke Ewing ended all hope for Catholic with an interception to end the game. U-High won 27-21.
