St. Paul finished second at the 7-on-7 New England tournament held Tuesday at Peabody, Mass., losing 16-14 to St. John's Prep (Mass.).
From the ESPN Boston article on-line:
As St. John's Prep quarterback Mike Geaslen walked off the Bishop
Fenwick High School football field, a teammate asked whether he was
going to be at the next day's morning workout.
Geaslen held up the Under Armour Northeast 7-on-7 New England
Championship trophy and said, “No man, I'm going to eat my cereal out of
this cup.”
Prep, guided by the steady arm of Geaslen and its impressive list of
offensive playmakers, defeated St Paul Catholic (Conn.) in the finals,
16-14, after grinding through pool play and a talent-laden bracket. The
Eagles knocked off Chelmsford in the semifinals to set up a showdown
with one of Connecticut's top teams.
During the finals, Thomas was charged with defending St. Paul receivers
being fed by Logan Marchi, considered one of the top quarterbacks in
Connecticut. Marchi, who verbally committed to UConn back in June, spent
most of the day picking apart opposing defenses but was stonewalled by
Prep during the final five minutes of the championship.
“That was a good quarterback. He was one of the best athletes on the
field,” said Thomas, admitting that Marchi beat him a few times with
accurate passes. “He throws some dimes.”
