READING - Christian Cacchione had four receptions for 106 yards and two touchdowns and also intercepted a pass to lead Berks Catholic over Boyertown 49-14  in a non-league game Friday night at the Forino Sports Complex. 

The Saints (2-2) amassed 412 yards of offense, including 79 rushing yards and two scores from Connor Gundersen.

The Berks Catholic defense surrendered only 14 yards and zero first downs through the first half. The Bears (1-3) finally found their footing late in the third quarter, capping a 13-play, 72 yard drive with a 22-yard touchdown run by Jaime Moccia.

"Coming in off two lopsided losses, we asked the kids to fix their errors this week and they did that," Saints Coach Rick Keeley said following the game. "We had a total team effort tonight."

Two of Berks Catholic's main offensive weapons, Abdul McFoy and Nolan Larkin, did not play due to injury.  However, that didn't stop the Saints from executing their system, nor did it stop their sophomore flanker.

"I'm just glad they called my number," said Cacchione while holding the night's game ball.  "Brad (Hoffman) was able to find me in places I could catch the ball."

Berks Catholic quarterback Brad Hoffman completed 6-of-10 passes for 116 yards and two touchdowns for the Saints and was able to get the offense moving after a sluggish start. Hoffman found Cacchione to open the scoring and Gundersen extended the lead with a 30-yard score on the Saints' next possession.

As efficient as Berks Catholic was on offense, it was nearly as dominant on defense, holding the Bears without a first down until midway through the third quarter.  The Saints' secondary also held Boyertown to zero completions on six attempts.

The Bears got 44 yards and a touchdown from Joseph Dulin and 42 hard-earned yards from Zachary Davis.

"We had some key guys missing tonight," Keeley added. "But the next man stepped up and ran our system.  We had some huge steps in the right direction."
