First quarter: Greece Athena wins the coin toss and defers. Aquinas elects to receive.
Aquinas starts at its own 17 goes three-and-out and Brandon Lockerby delivers a long, towering punt. Greece Athena junior Louie Polizzi muffs the punt, Aquinas' Joe Tarana recovers at the Athena 28.
Aquinas QB Ben Bostick goes deep left and Dwayne Smith makes the catch for 27 yards. Casey Vogel goes in over right tackle on the next play from the one for the TD.
Extra point by Brandon Lockerby is good. Aquinas 7, Greece Athena 0, 9:49 remaining. (Scoring drive: 2 plays and 28 yards.)
Athena's Christian Mopy returns the kickoff 19 yards, but the Trojans quickly go three-and-out. Dwayne Smith of Aquinas misplays the punt return and is tackled at his own 5.
First play from scrimmage, Casey Vogl rips off a 64 yard run to the Athena 31. Two plays later, Bostick and Anthony Bianchi hook up for 9 yards on a quick throw to the left.
An illegal procedure call stalls the drive. Brandon Lockerby comes on to kick a 26-yard field goal for the Irish. Aquinas 10, Greece Athena 0, 4:15 remaining. (Scoring drive: 8 plays and 86 yards)
Athena possession begins at the Trojans' 32. Jeff Gerace's reception and run keeps the drive alive to midfield.
Second quarter: First quarter ends with Athena sitting on 3rd-and-6 at the Aquinas 26. Illegal procedure penalty and then Darryl Parker's sack of Joe Trimboli take Athena out of field-goal range and force a punt with 11:15 to go.
Aquinas goes three-and-out and punts. Athena's Louie Polizzi calls a fair catch at the Trojans' 43.
Greece Athena calls a timeout with 8:24 to play to think over a 3rd-and7 at its own 46.
First two plays after the timeout are Joe Trimboli's 10-yard throw to the right to David Howell and Khyrie Jones' 11-yard run. Two plays later, Trimboli hits Isaac Floyd for 17 yards on the right side, with Jalen Dennis making a TD-saving forceout.
Two Khyrie Jones runs get the ball to the 9, but Anthony Bianch breaks up a 3rd-and-1 pass, nearly picking it off. Steve Wakefield comes on and kicks a 22-yard field goal. Greece Athena 3, Aquinas 10, 5:20 to go. (Scoring drive: 10 plays and 51 yards)
Wakefield drived the kickoff through the end zone. Aquinas goes three-and-out again, with Christian Mopy laying a big second-down lick on Casey Vogl.
Athena misses a huge opportunity on the first play after a 29-yard punt. Trimboli laterals far left to Polizzi who hit David Howell down the middle to the Aquinas 2, but it all comes back on an illegal shift penalty. It becomes a three-and-out from there.
Aquinas gets it back at its own 22 and goes nowhere on three plays, punting with 1:11 left.
Athena starts at its 48 and puts a late drive together, including a 15-yard Dwayne Cunningham carry to the Aquinas 34. With 16 seconds left, Kyhrie Jones carries to the Aquinas 20 for a first down and the Trojans use their last timeout with 11 seconds left.
