Warwick football defeats Lourdes

Warwick varsity football was up 7-6 late in the fourth quarter when Our Lady of Lourdes successfully completed the “Hook and Lateral” play on fourth down and long from their own 20-yard line. Warwick football captain Johnny Accardo sprinted down the field and punched the ball out while securing the tackle on the Warwick 30-yard line while senior Connor Brogan recovered the loose ball to secure the Wildcat win over the defending Class A champs. Warwick improved to 5-3 for the season and a 4-1 mark at C. A. Morgan Field.

Warwick offense was paced by senior quarterback Wils Siebert who rushed for 60 yards on seven carries and completed eight of 15 passes for 213 yards and a touchdown. Warwick junior Dylan Sullivan had three catches for 147 yards and a touchdown. Anthony Mazza and Latrell Willis contributed five catches for 66 yards.

Warwick’s defense was led by Jake Rooney (14 tackles), Anthony Marcano (eight tackles) and Johnny Accardo (seven tackles). Anthony Marcano, Latrell Willis and Jake Rooney each had a sack for the defense that shut down the vaunted Lourdes offense. Defensive lineman Charlie Phipps, Michael Hennessy, Michael Miller and Rashied Richardson were outstanding in the trenches.

Warwick will travel to Washingtonville for their final regular season game on Saturday, October 28, for a 1 p.m. kick-off.
