WHEREAS, The Prep finished the season with 10 consecutive wins as the determined Hawklets stormed through the regular season and the post season; and

WHEREAS, Following a scoreless 1st quarter, the Prep scored 21 points before halftime as quarterback Vince Gallagher connected with Jim Lachman and Pete Chromiak on 23 and 72 yard touchdown passes and Kyle Amrogi, who rushed for 95 yards, completed the first half scoring with a 5 yard touchdown run; and

WHEREAS, The Prep continued to move the ball effectively in the second half and never gave Monsignor Bonner a chance to get back into the game; and
