.@jack_parisi44 ran for two touchdowns, @jjchapman_2 tossed a pair of TD passes, and Rocco Lopez recovered two fumbles for a @FootballNaz defense that generated five sacks in Saturday's 49-6 Class 6A second-round win over Simeon.

@FootballNaz@Simeon_football TOUCHDOWN Nazareth
After a Rocco Lopez fumble recovery it's Jack Parisi for the 7-yard score and his second touchdown today. Harding XP good
42-6 Nazareth 9:33 3Q
🔵Nazareth (6-5) took care of Dunlap on the road, 28-7, the Roadrunners’ 20th win in their last 21 playoff games. Nazareth’s defense held Dunlap scoreless (the only Eagles touchdown was a defensive one). It was the first time in 10 games the Eagles had been held under 21 points. Cash Coleman made six tackles and caught five passes for 66 yards and a score. Jake Wallace nearly had a pick-6, settling for a still-very-fun one-handed interception instead. Junior Gavin Hartigan opened the scoring with an early touchdown run, and Jack Parisi and Dylan Wellner also found pay dirt. Nazareth comes home tomorrow. With a win, they’d either stay home to play Quincy or make a road trip to East Moline to face United Township in the quarterfinals.
🔵Next Game: Home vs. Simeon (6-5), 1:00 Saturday
Simeon plays its third straight road game, a highly unusual occurrence in the playoffs. The Wolverines prepared themselves for postseason battles such as this one with an excellent early-season non-conference schedule (at Marist, vs. Bolingbrook, at Morris). They lost all of those games, but they now have a chance to advance to the 6A quarterfinals for the second straight year. Jalonny Billingsley is one of the best sophomores in Illinois. He’s a WR at the next level, but you’ll probably also see him covering Jackson Flickinger fairly often tomorrow.

Very solid relief performance today. My AVG Velo was a little down but still was highly effective and went 3.1 innings 2 hits, 0 runs, 0 BB, and 4 K’s.
