Holy Angels Stars Dims SLP Orioles Homecoming

 The stadium bleachers were packed on a chilly Friday night for the St. Louis Park Orioles Homecoming football game but it was Aaron Boarman who spoiled the celebrations with two touchdown passes to lead the Holy Angels Stars to a 34-8 win.

A trick play from Stars head coach Jim Gunderson would result in Ryan McGuire heading to the end zone from four yards after the Orioles came up short on downs.  

Holy Angels would add another touchdown in the second quarter as Boarman threw an 11 yard pass to Jacob Pung with :14.6 left in the half and the Stars led at halftime 14-0.  

In the third quarter, the Stars would shine in the end zone twice.  The first came on a beautifully thrown 50 yard touchdown pass to Charles Gilbert III.  They would increase their lead to 28 on Joe Miller's 14 yard run.  

Holy Angels was not finished in the fourth quarter.  Miller muscled his way through the St. Louis Park defense and went into the end zone from six yards.  There would be no shutout for the Orioles as the weather picture got colder.  Stefano Giovannelli, making his debut at quarterback with Declan Gaines out due to a concussion, struggled throughout the game with two interceptions but he would throw his touchdown pass, and 11 yard strike to Teddy Dahlen with 1:04 to play.

The Stars improved their record to 5-1 and will head to Chanhassen on Friday, October 14 to take on the Storm at 7 PM.  The Orioles fell to 2-4 and also returns to action on the 14th, heading down Highway 5 to Waconia for a 7 PM game against the Wildcats.
