The Football team defeated Lake Catholic 28-7 on Friday at Mentor Stadium to improve to 4-4 on the season and earn some key points for the OHSAA playoff picture. 

The Bruins opened the scoring in the first quarter on a long touchdown pass from Donavin Friscone to Reed Cervenka. The offense turned to Maks Karasek after the initial drive with Karasek rushing for 220 yards and 3 rushing touchdowns to take control of the game and seal the victory.  

Padua returns to action next Friday when they travel to CVCA for a week 9 conference matchup.
