Cornerback George Blessey intercepted a pass and returned the ball 20 yards for a touchdown, sealing Country Day's 49-36 victory over Douglass in a nondistrict game Friday afternoon at Pan American Stadium.

It is Douglass' first loss of the season.

Country Day (2-2) led 40-36 when Blessey made the big play with 2:41 left in the game and the conversion kick made it 47-36. The Cajuns tacked on two more points for the final score when Douglass' Ronald Gardet was tackled in the end zone after the ensuing kickoff.

The Bobcats (3-1) got the ball at their own 7 after stopping Country Day on downs with 2:41 left.

“Our kids just never stop playing,” Cajuns coach Ben Powell said. “Even in our two losses (33-20 vs. The Willow School and 66-57 vs. Episcopal), we played until the final whistle.”
