Easton Royal returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown and three Brother Martin players each ran for a score as the Crusaders routed John Ehret 35-7 in a mistake-filled jamboree contest Friday at Shaw’s Joe Zimmerman Stadium.

Brother Martin twice took possession at the Ehret 1-yard line after a pair of mishandled punt snaps and senior Julian Cutter and junior Jeremiah Burton each ran for a touchdown on the next play. Also in the first half, senior linebacker Johnny Revels recovered a fumble in the end zone after the Ehret quarterback scrambled backward and lost the ball near the goal line.

Jack Melancon scored the final touchdown on a 5-yard run that capped a drive that went 11 plays and 71 yards and included a 46-yard completion from junior Hudson Fields to senior Brodie DuMontier.
