The Johnston football team fell to Lincoln 36-18 last weekend at home as it dropped to 1-4 this season.
Johnston quarterback Matt Clements was sharp despite the loss, finishing 14-of-24 passing and tossing three touchdowns and 176 yards. Freshman Lyalo Harrison-Perez continued to impress in his breakout season, leading the team in receptions (6), yards (87) and hauling in a pair of touchdowns. Michael Abbruzzi scored Johnston’s other touchdown in the loss.
The Panthers took home their first win the previous week, keeping their playoff hopes alive by topping Chariho 37-12 on the road.
Clements threw for over 200 yards in the win along with five touchdowns in the air.
James Estrada caught three touchdowns from Clements and recorded over 100 yards receiving, while Harrison Perez finished the day with 66 yards receiving with a touchdown. Yadier Grullon also hauled in a Clements touchdown pass in the victory. Dean Paris led the team in rushing with 53 yards on the ground while also scoring a 2-point conversion. Jayden Ponte also rushed for a 2-point play.
The Panthers will be on the road to take on the East Greenwich Avengers this Friday night. EG has won one game as well, with the matchup being a possible must-win for each club. Johnston then will head to Warwick the following week to take on Pilgrim before returning home against Classical for the season finale.
