Spalding 28, Howard 6

          Spalding kept alive its 4-4A top seed hopes with the win, while Howard’s season ends at 3-7 and 1-5.

Tattnall 61, Mount de Sales 33

          At halftime, it was a 7-point game. After three, tied. Tattnall then went on a dazzling 28-point fourth-quarter to turn a close game into a romp and clinch second place in Region 1-A Private. The loss overshadowed an epic performance from Mount de Sales’ Fernando Washington, who ran 28 times for 283 yards – a 10.1-yard average – and five touchdowns, accounting for all of Mount de Sales’ touchdowns and 84.7 percent of the Cavs’ total offense. He now has 1,371 yards and 19 touchdowns on the ground. Tattnall’s Demario Wilmore turned in a superb effort as well, with 230 yards and three touchdowns on 19 carries. Cameron Person and Yasir Saleem each had two scores for the Trojans.

          Washington scored on runs of 66, 58, 12, 5, and 2 yards. Person’s 10-yard score with 2:35 left in the third quarter tied it at 33. All of Tattnall’s fourth-quarter scores came in the final 7:43, starting with Person’s 3-yard run. Antone Johnson went in from 22 yards barely two minutes later after the defense held on fourth down, and Wilmore from 37 yards only 20 seconds later after a first-play Cavs fumble. Saleem finished it off with a 2-yarder at the 4:15 mark.
