Steelhawks slide past Knights in high school football

Just a week after St. Mary’s beat Korah by a single point, the Knights were on the other end of a tight game on Saturday.

A 38-yard touchdown run by Max Fisher gave Superior Heights a 9-7 win over the Knights in the second game of the season for both teams.

Fisher’s touchdown run came late in the opening half and put the Steelhawks up 9-0 at the time after St. Mary’s conceded a safety earlier in the second quarter.

St. Mary’s quarterback Joel Soltys, who filled in as the Knights starter for Johnny Hammond in Saturday’s game, hit Greg Caruso for a 19-yard touchdown strike in the final minute of the second quarter for the lone St. Mary’s major of the contest.

Saturday’s other senior football game saw Evan Bodnar throw three touchdown passes as the Korah Colts beat White Pines 30-0.

Following Saturday’s results, Superior Heights is 2-0 through two weeks while St. Mary’s and Korah are 1-1. White Pines is 0-2.
