Bombers Dominate in 28–0 Shutout of Westerville North
The Bombers were firing on all cylinders Friday night at RDI Stadium, blanking Westerville North 28–0 to notch their second straight game where they don't let up a TD and move to 4–0 on the season.
St. X wasted no time setting the tone. After a defensive stop, quarterback Jackson Frey connected with Cameron Taylor for a 36-yard touchdown pass on the Bombers' first play from scrimmage. Minutes later, Griffin Lyons broke through to block a punt and Brody Giles fell on it in the end zone, giving St. X a quick 14–0 lead. Running back Spencer Stegbauer powered in from one yard out before the first quarter ended, and the Bombers held a commanding 21–0 advantage.
The defense continued its dominant play, forcing turnovers and keeping Westerville North off the scoreboard. Griffin Lyons had a sack and an interception, Daniel Vollmer added a sack of his own, and Brayden Reilly and Josh Fasbender anchored a secondary that smothered the passing game.
Frey finished with two touchdown passes on the night, including a 36-yard strike to Alex McClatchey early in the fourth quarter to cap the scoring at 28–0. McClatchey also provided a spark on special teams with several strong punt returns.
On the ground, the Bombers leaned on depth and balance. Stegbauer and Roman Dean both found success moving the chains, while Aiden Graham ripped off chunk gains in the second half to wear down the Warrior defense.
By the final whistle, the Bombers had not only pitched a shutout but held Westerville North to just 154 total yards and forced multiple turnovers.
With the win, St. Xavier improves to 4–0 on the season.
With this Win after Westerville North, Head Coach Steve Specht '86 Secured win #190 and becomes the all time winningest coach in St. Xavier Football History. Surpassing legendary Coach Steve Rasso (189). Congratulations to Coach Specht and this remarkable achievement.
The Bombers return to action tomorrrow night for their first game in GCL play, taking on Archbishop Moeller @ West Clermont High School (7:00pm) Kickoff.
