The Tempelton Eagles were shut-out by the St. Joseph Knights 38-0 Friday night in Santa Maria. The Knights stopped the Eagles’ running game, and held them to under 50 yards passing. The Knights freshman quarterback Kaden Cuggia passed effectively against the Eagles. Cuggia, who is talented far beyond his years, went 12-15 passing for over 150 yards. Kaden was brought up from the JV team after the Knight’s starting quarterback was injured. Several Eagle players were injured in Friday’s game on artificial turf. Chase Richards, Will Evans, and Tyler Kaschewski did not play after half-time. Anthony Fischer went out for awhile, but came back to finish the game. Jake Stezle played quarterback in the second half for the Eagles, and moved the ball well passing. Receiver Kale Loppnow caught five passes for 38 yards. The game was the first on St. Joseph’s new artificial turf. Athletic Director Tom Mott said they finished installing the field on Thursday of this week.
