Saint John Vianney lands 32nd Straight Win Over Conference Opponents
Saint John Vianney registered another lopsided victory over a local opponent with a 31-7 decision over Red Bank Regional in Week 3. However, the final score doesn’t depict how close this contest was through the first half.
Senior quarterback Haaziq Daniels connected with Sam East on a second-quarter scoring strike and that touchdown accounted for the only points scored in the first two quarters of play.
In the third quarter the Bucs knotted the contest at 7-7, but a late field goal by Will Forman sent the Lancers into the fourth with a three-point advantage.
Daniels delivered another touchdown pass in the fourth quarter and Johnny Buchanan added two scoring scampers to help SJV pull away and notch the program’s 32nd consecutive win over a Shore Conference opponent.
