LAKEWOOD, Ohio — Zach Hackleman tied his single-game school record with three touchdown receptions. Brandon White ran through and around defenders in the first half to build a big lead and Jonny Evanchick orchestrated most of the St. Edward’s efficient game Saturday to lead them to a 57-19 win vs. Bishop McNamara.
Evanchick completed 8 of 12 passes for 114 yards, while junior Langston Lucas added 64 yards on two passes. Both found Hackleman, who finished with 155 yards and his three TDs on six receptions.
