The St. Thomas More Cougars continue on their run to the Dome.
STM sought revenge over Madison Prep Academy after losing to the Chargers in week one of last season. The Cougars got the party started early this year leading at the half, 28-13.
The Cougars put together an offensive clinic where quarterback Sam Altmann led the pack by spreading the love to his many offensive weapons, like running back Charlie Payton and wide receiver Christian McNees.
"They make my job so much easier. To have Christian to throw to and have Charlie on the run to get some pressure off of me... 3rd and 2, 3rd and 5 and pick up the first down, it helps the team so much", says Altmann.
The Cougars clicked on all cylinders where the special teams unit showcased impressive plays and allowed minimal returns past midfield. The defense also held up their end of the bargain, including an interception from defensive back Nicholas Beckwith in the first half.
"They stepped up big tonight and got stops when we needed."
Next week, St. Thomas More will play E.D. White in the Div. II semi-finals.
