League play began around the state this past weekend, and the Bishop Hendricken football team picked up right where it left off from last season.
The Hawks opened up with a 34-14 win over East Providence, making them 1-0 in Division I. Senior quarterback John Toppa was the offensive star of the game, running for touchdowns of 10 and 67 yards and throwing two more. Toppa hit Lee Moses for a 14-yard score and found Power Kanga for a 49-yard touchdown.
Terrence Gibbs added a 6-yard touchdown run, as Hendricken scored 34 points for the second consecutive week. It led only 20-14 at halftime against the Townies, but scored one touchdown in each of the final two quarters to pull away.
East Providence’s points came courtesy of an 80-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Jaevin Millhouse and an 8-yard run from Trystan Casey, both in the second quarter.
Hendricken will play a key D-I game next weekend, as it hosts Portsmouth at 7 p.m. The Patriots, a playoff team last season before losing to the Hawks in the semifinals, opened up their league slate with a 29-25 win over Cranston East on Friday night. (Warwick Beacon photos by Gage Potter)
