A Final Victory

Jake Kistel completed his HS Football career as a Viking by taking a knee on the final play of the game. Kistel ran for two touchdowns and threw one in the 31-21 victory over Westminster Christian. Senior receiver Matt Brewer had eight receptions for 149 yards and a touchdown to break Ross Lane's single-season receptions record for Bishop Verot. Brewer finished about 70 yards short of breaking Lane's yardage record. Kistel scored from 17 yards out late in the third quarter for a 24-7 lead, then found Brewer on a 15-yard hitch pattern with 8:02 left in the game to open a 31-7 edge. Verot's defense, which forced six three-and-outs, gave up two late scores but recorded five sacks in thwarting the Warriors (7-3). "It's a good feeling," senior defensive lineman J.C. Oceant, who had two sacks, said of completing four consecutive winning seasons. "We changed the direction of the Bishop Verot program. I won't be able to touch the high school field again. To be able to go out with a win, that means the world."
