It’s been a decade since LaSalle College High School had beaten St. Joe’s Prep to win the 2015 Catholic League Championship. On Saturday at Villanova Stadium in Radnor Township — it was LaSalle who defeated St. Joe’s Prep (5–5) 24–14 in the PIAA Class 6A District Twelve Semifinal.
The 9–1 LaSalle Explorers struck first — getting on the board with a touchdown reception from Owen Johnson. The connection between he and quarterback Gavin Sidwar would pay dividends again in the second quarter — giving LaSalle a 14–7 lead at halftime. St. Joe’s Prep would pull within 17–14 in the third quarter thanks to a touchdown reception from Marvin Harrison’s son Jett Harrison — before the Explorers sealed the Championship win with a seven-yard scoring run by Sidwar.
Gavin Sidwar has committed to the University of Missouri. Last season — the St. Joe’s Prep Hawks defeated LaSalle in the Catholic League 6A Championship Game to end their season.
This time — it is LaSalle who is advancing.
