50th Annual Spring Scrimmage
The 50th Annual St. Paul Spring Blue-White Game, which just concluded a few minutes ago, turned out to be pretty successful.Despite obvious rust and new faces there was still plenty of excitement surrounding the 2008 season.
The scrimmage was broken up into two 20-minute halves with a running clock.
The Varsity Blue squad was led on offense by senior quarterback Andrew Canales, who guided his team to the only score of the contest.
Canales hooked up on 67-yard touchdown strike with former Mayfair standout Darius Bratcher, who looked most impressive Saturday morning.
Bratcher only had three carries, yet each went for 6 or more yards. He also had a second-half reception of 16 yards.
Junior quarterback Paul Lopez had a couple of big plays, including when he found another former Monsoons star, Odiase Osagie, on a 64-yard strike in the first half.
The defense, though, looked the best and made minimal errors in allowing only one score.
Not too bad.
Here's my brief interview with Andrew Canales -

Check out Wednesday's paper for more info.
st. paul looked pretty fast on both sides of the ball.
as always we look small.
lopez and canales looked good at qb.
running backs also look fast ,garcia,darius,and deion
although garcia will be starting at strong safety ,doesnt look like he will be carrying the ball much.
wide recievers kevin garcia, odiasi,and webb also looked very quick, should give lopez or canales a nice target to hit.
defense will be solid again this year.
corners and safety are very quick to the ball
although with only a couple of returners, they still have some learning to do.
overall we look good and should be able to make another run for the title!!!
GO SWORDSMAN!!!
