At this point, you'd think the teams are allergic to scoring.

Xaverian got a brilliant kickoff return by Shea Reardon to open the third quarter. But facing fourth-and-1 from the BC High 17, elected to run the ball instead of kicking the chip shot for kicker Paul Asack (with the wind). BC High came up with its second fourth-down stop of the night.

Later in the quarter, Asack shanked a punt from the Xaverian 20 and the Eagles took over at the same spot (pressure forced him to kick it straight up).

The Eagles endured a 7-yard loss on second down and eventually attempted a fake field goal, that resulted in an incomplete pass (but would have been nullified by an illegal man downfield, anyhow).

We move to the fourth quarter.
