Heading into Friday night’s season opener against visiting Stevenson , Prospect ’s football team had blocked 66 kicks since the start of the 2018 season under special teams coach Tim Beishir.
No. 67 - a punt block - occurred at 5:24 of the first quarter against the Patriots, courtesy of junior defensive back Caden Moran.
“That’s all him (Beishir),” Prospect head coach Dan DeBoeuf said. “We set out to go after the ball at the start of our tenure together.
Knights teammate Devin Gerdes scooped up the ball and ran it 25 yards for the first touchdown of the game, kick-starting Prospect’s 28-18 victory at George Gattas Memorial Stadium.
“I tripped, but got up and scooped it up,“ Gerdes said.
Prospect (1-0) never trailed Stevenson (0-1) in the nonconference game and secured a 21-10 lead
