Peter Mazzurco won the game with his foot, not his arm, Sunday, leading St. Francis Prep to an 18-12 victory over Christ the King. The senior signal-caller was 3-for-8 for 49 yards as quarterback, but kicked three punts that pinned the Royals inside their own 10, and a fourth, a 48-yarder with less than a minute to play from his own end zone. Mazzurco also booted a 35-yard field goal in the win.

“We had great kicking from Pete Mazzurco,” said Prep coach Vince O’Connor. “That (last) punt got us out of trouble. It must have been 50 yards. He has excellent talent as a kicker.”
