The St. Rose Cardinals traveled to El Campo last Wednesday, Sept. 13 to open up their 2023 season and brought home a 36-22 victory over the St. Philip Pioneers.
The Pioneers started the game with a nice six-play drive but it ended on a William Eudy interception over the middle. He returned it 60 yards for an apparent touchdown. However, an inadvertent whistle brought the ball back to the St. Rose 40-yard line.
The Cardinal offense put together their own six-play drive with Denver Carr rushing for 39 yards and Weston Hollas running it in for the touchdown from 15 yards out. Will Taylor had a key block on the TD run to spring Hollas on the edge. Carr converted the two-point conversion for an 8-0 lead.
