LAWRENCE — Central Catholic had a strong offense on paper heading into the 2013 season. One game into its season, the paper wasn't lying.
Central exploded for four touchdowns on four first half possessions to break it open at Lawrence Veterans Stadium last night, 39-27.
The Merrimack Valley Conference foes had already traded two touchdowns apiece only a minute into the second quarter before Central added two more second quarter scores to break it open, eventually going ahead 39-13 through three quarters.
Central rushed for 225 yards on 34 carries with senior D'Andre Drummond-Mayrie getting 101 of those yards on 11 carries. Junior quarterback Mike Milano was near-perfect completing 10 of 11 passes for 104 yards.
But Central's No. 1 star was running back/linebacker Markus Edmunds who not only scored three TDs (two rushing), but he had a dozen tackles.
Lawrence High, though, was no slouch on this night, though, particularly on offense. Junior quarterback Nelson Valerio completed 14-of-23 passes for 244 yards and four TDs. He did throw three interceptions.
Sophomore Luis Crispin (5 catches, 111 yards) and junior Justin Rivera (3 catches, 125 yards) both made big catches, including Crispin's one-arm grab while falling down in the end zone for his second score.
