On a night when offensive consistency was hard to come by, St. Amant got just what it needed from its defense Friday night.

A week after allowing 56 points in a narrow win over Cecilia, the Gators defense pitched a second-half shutout as St. Amant pulled away from John F. Kennedy for a 28-12 win at The Pit.

The Gators (3-0) came up with two second-half interceptions, both on their own side of the field. The St. Amant offense, which struggled behind a barrage of penalties, put up two fourth-quarter touchdowns to salt the game away.

"I was very proud of the defense," St. Amant coach David Oliver said. "They got gouged last week, but tonight they only gave up one touchdown. When we challenged them, they didn't give up a score in the second half. It was a hugely different game for them."
