MOYER HAS CATHOLIC ON BRINK OF HISTORY

P.J. Moyer rushed for 149 yards on 13 carries and scored two touchdowns as Roanoke Catholic cruised to a 34-6 victory over Hargrave Military in a penalty- marred Virginia Independent Conference football game.

The Celtics (9-0), the top-ranked team in the Division I private schools poll, will be going for their first undefeated regular season in school history next week when they take on archrival North Cross.

This game was anything but pretty as the teams combined to commit 30 penalties for 275 yards. Hargrave was flagged for 150 yards on 18 penalties, while Roanoke Catholic was penalized 12 times for 125 yards.

Moyer, though, finished the Tigers in the first half. His first touchdown came on a 30-yard run in the first quarter and the extra point gave the Celtics a 7-0 lead.

His second touchdown came in the second quarter on a 46-yard run that extended Roanoke Catholic's lead to 20-0. Moyer rushed for 130 yards in the first half alone.

The Celtics' defense did its part, giving up only 45 yards rushing and 165 yards of total offense.
