EAGLE FOOTBALL 43 ST. JOHN’S SCHOOL 28

Electric quarterback Donte Lewis ’24 dropped a dizzy and delightful first varsity start with 477 total yards and six touchdown passes, three to breakout receiver Shaffer Henderson ’23, and running back Johann Cardenas ’24 turned beast-mode in the second half to launch a convincing victory at Skip Lee Field.

The divine display from Lewis was the gaudiest debut since House of the Dragon – 24-36, 399 passing yards plus seven rushes for 78 yards. He paraded an array of mind-numbing arm-angle deliveries and Mahomes-esque escapes from pocket pressure with a too-blessed-to-be stressed vibe and too-new-to-be-nervous nonchalance that defied simple understanding. The uber-athletic package was in full view – accuracy, touch, competitive savvy, and an uncanny ability to make plays where there appeared to be none.
