Box Score

BALTIMORE, Md. – Johns Hopkins, ranked seventh in the latest d3football.com, jumped out to a 21-0 lead en route to a 48-17 victory over McDaniel in Centennial Conference (CC) football action on Saturday.

Matty Callahan (Germantown, Md./Northwest) led the Green Terror (1-9, 0-9 CC), establishing a career best with 99 yards rushing to go with his 111 yards passing.

Braden Anderson threw for 165 yards and two touchdowns to pace the Blue Jays (10-0, 9-0 CC), who wrapped up their fourth straight outright conference title.

After an exchange of three punts, Brandon Cherry capped a 5-play, 52-yard drive with a 14-yard touchdown run with 9:40 to play in the first quarter for a 7-0 lead.

Just 3:05 later, Quinn Donaldson doubled the advantage with a 21-yard touchdown grab.

After a miscue on an attempted lateral on the ensuing kickoff, Johns Hopkins needed just three plays to cover nine yards. Braden Anderson rolled left off a fake dive and walked in the final yard untouched for a 21-0 lead with 5:51 showing.

A 49-yard Callahan 49-yard rush – the longest of the year by any McDaniel player – set up first down at the Blue Jay 20-yard line. One play later, Callahan found JT Kotowski (Colonia, N.J./Colonia) in the corner of the end zone off a tipped pass to make it a 21-7 game with 3:56 on the clock.

Johns Hopkins needed just 2:42 to respond, stretching the lead back to 21 with a Brad Foulke seven-yard catch for the touchdown.

Two Jamie Sullivan field goals of fewer than 25 yards stretched the lead to 34-7 before stretching the lead to 41-7 just 23.6 seconds until the intermission with a 17-yard touchdown grab by David Brookhart.

A Jonathan Germano three-yard run capped off a 10-play, 74-yard drive for the lone score of the third quarter, stretching the lead to 48-7 with 11:04 to play in the period.

After Drew Scott's (Brick, N.J./Brick Twp.) second interception of the day set up his offense at the Blue Jay 29, Spencer Wiersberg (Salisbury, Md./J.M. Bennett) converted a season-long 28-yard field goal with 9:35 to play.

Tayahd Campbell (Silver Spring, Md./Blake) capped off a methodical 11-play drive, running off the final 11 yards of the 66-yard drive to make it a 48-17 game with 3:41 showing.
