From staff reports

St. Aloysius had three passes intercepted with two going back for touchdowns as Mount Olive rolled to a 51-7 Region 4-1A win Friday night.

The Pirates (9-1, 8-1) locked up the No. 2 seed from the region and will be at home when the Class 1A playoffs begin in two weeks. St. Al (7-3, 6-3), meanwhile, faces a must-win game next week at Balzli Field against Stringer. The winner will likely finish fourth in the region, and the loser will miss the playoffs entirely.

Down 51-0, St. Al got its lone touchdown in the fourth quarter on a 3-yard touchdown run by Chris Lewis. Lewis finished with 26 yards on 26 carries.

The Flashes could not establish the pass. Quarterback Regan Nosser was just 2-of-13 for 17 yards and three picks.

One of the interceptions went for a 28-yard touchdown return to open the scoring. Diarran Keller then had a 29-yard TD pass and a 1-yard TD run to up the lead to 24-0 after the Pirates converted two more two-point conversions.

The Pirates led 30-0 at the half and then scored three touchdowns in the third quarter to take a 51-0 lead.
