University Prep takes 27-7 lead on Aquinas with pick six

The Griffins' defense is getting in on the action. Tyrell Simmons, who has already scored twice on offense, pressured Aquinas quarterback Trent Buttles.

University Prep quarterback Tavion Byrd runs for 85-yard TD

Webster Schroeder scores on beautiful 61-yard catch-and-run

Webster Schroeder has a lot of production to replace from last year at quarterback and wide receiver. This is a good start. Quarterback Drew Hilfiker completed to Gavin Horton in the flat and Horton did the rest, breaking a tackle and turning on the jets down the right sideline for the long score.

University Prep takes lead over Aquinas before halftime

University Prep has scored 13 straight points for a 13-7 lead. Wide receiver Tyrell Simmons had the monster play on the scoring drive with a 33-yard reception from Tavion Byrd. Simmons made a catch near the left sideline, pirouetted over an Aquinas defender and then went to work. Simmons stiff-armed a tackler, maneuvered around another, juked another and then lowered his shoulder to lay the boom on another. A group of six tacklers finally brought him down. Byrd and Simmons hooked up for their second touchdown of the game to cap the drive.

Final score: McQuaid 55, Edison 0

McQuaid did what it was supposed to do in Week 1. The Knights overpowered a young and inexperienced Edison team that has one win over the last three years.
