Bishop Lynch knew just where to attack Trinity Christian when the two teams met Friday night, and the plan paid huge dividends as the Friars emerged with a 49-42 win over the Trojans at Roffino Stadium.

The Friars (3-2, 1-1) took advantage of a porous TCA rushing defense that entered the game surrendering just over 300 yards per game on the ground. Bishop Lynch blew that number away, churning out 535 of its season-best 582 total yards via the running game.

Jaire Moore (209), Jarek Broussard (167) and Jermaine Mask (153) each eclipsed the 150-yard mark. Moore found the end zone four times while the others each scored once.

Moore's touchdown runs covered 63, 64, 23 and 2 yards. Mask sprinted 75 yards to paydirt and Broussard opened the scoring with a 79-yard scamper, while also putting the game away for good with a 74-yard run down to the TCA 5 with less than a minute to play.

The Friars led by as many as 21 points on two separate occasions, taking a 28-7 lead late in the first half, then entering the final frame with a 49-28 advantage.

TCA quarterback Court Walker came into the contest averaging 400 yards and six touchdowns per game through the air and almost met those numbers against the Friars. The senior transfer passed for 379 yards but needed 32 completions and 57 attempts to do so. He threw four TD passes and scored twice on the ground.

For the fourth straight week, the Friars' opportunistic defense won the turnover battle, forcing two fumbles while the offense played turnover-free for the third time in the past four games.

Keion McGee recovered both TCA fumbles, the second of which came with under two minutes to play and the Trojans at the Bishop Lynch 15-yard line.

The BL defense will get another stiff test next week when the Friars head to Plano to take on the defending TAPPS state champions from Prestonwood Christian (4-1, 2-0).

Like TCA, the Lions score at an alarming rate (49.2 points per game) but also allow more than 42 points each outing.

Kickoff from Plano is slated for 7:30 p.m.
