"We got on our heels quick, but I'm proud of the kids for playing hard in the second half and not giving up."
St. Mary's (11-0) scored three touchdowns in each of the first two quarters. However, BC (6-5) came out and played hard in the second half.
After St. Mary's standout Josh Harper scored the last of his three TDs on a 36-yard sweep that made it 49-0, BC started to rally.
Buhach controlled the ball for almost the entire third quarter, piecing together a 15-play drive that lasted nearly six minutes.
Nick Datray hooked up with Matt Small for a 15-yard gain to get the first drive of the second half started. BC's Daniel Bolster also picked up a key first down on a 13-yard rush off a fake punt that extended the drive as well.
Dallon Muse (32 carries, 201 yards) capped the drive with a 2-yard TD for BC's only score.
