The Cardinal Newman Crusaders held off the Seminole Ridge Hawks 14-13 at Sam Budnyk Field in West Palm Beach on Friday night. It was the last two-quarter game of the spring football jamboree hosted by Cardinal Newman. The Crusaders had beaten Santaluces 21-0 earlier and finished with a 2-0 record.
After getting an interception early and returning it to the Crusaders six-yard line, Seminole Ridge got up 7-0 at 10:38 of the opening quarter. Deion McMinnis rushed to the right side and scored a three-yard touchdown.
Cardinal Newman tied it 7-7 with 4:10 left in the first. Quarterback Austin Wallace avoided a sack and found wide receiver Jason Lovingshimer on the left side of the end zone with a five-yard toss.
The Crusaders took the lead with 1:05 to go in the quarter. Wallace fired a 17-yard pass to wide receiver John Catando in front right corner of the end zone.
The Hawks would have one more chance on their last possession of the contest. McMinnis almost outraced the Cardinal Newman secondary and was caught at the Crusaders 20-yard line following a 65-yard carry up the right hash marks. It led to a fourth-and-goal for the Hawks at the five-yard line and wide receiver Renald Leandre caught a pass in the back left corner of the end zone with 36 seconds left.
Seminole Ridge trailed 14-13 and they decided to attempt a two-point conversion. McMinnis ran with ball around the right end and was stopped by the Crusaders defense inches from the goal line.
