Hendricken defeats rival La Salle at home
Oct 04, 2024
WARWICK, R.I. (WLNE) — This week’s Pick Six primetime matchup of Bishop Hendricken taking on La Salle Academy ended with the Hawks taking the victory 24-to-7.
The biggest rivals in Rode Island, who have faced off in 10 championships in the last 13 years, came into the game with the La Salle Rams as 3-and-2 and Hendricken 2-and-2.
The two teams had a tough strength of schedule early in the season, with both coming off losses to out-of-state competition.
Tensions were high early, with referees breaking up a pregame scuffle, setting a precursor to a penalty-ridden first quarter.
Not to be fazed was Hendricken’s offense, which drove down the field in the second quarter, with quarterback Dylan Lynch starting the scoring with a rushing touchdown.
La Salle struck right back, as quarterback Sam Perry launched one to Charles Sayegh for a touchdown.
But the Hawks would come back, with a rushing touchdown by Jeremy Dennis.
Hendricken would tack on a field goal later on, and their defense forced a fumble midway through the third quarter, with Michael DaSilva, Jr. then punching in a touchdown.
