After heat delay, Anthony Wayne outmans St. John's 34-0
A half-hour delay due to high field temperatures did not ruin Anthony Wayne’s night. Once the festivities got underway at Lyden Field, the Generals advanced, whether by land or air, turning the game into a 48-minute torture chamber for St. John’s Jesuit. Grant Kinnee threw for two touchdowns and ran for two, Braden Gardner caught two touchdown passes and ran for another, and Anthony Wayne rolled past the host Titans 34-0. “Braden and Grant get a lot of credit because they’re the two back there,” AW coach Andy Brungard said, “but we’re trying to be a well-balanced offense.”
