Nansemond-Suffolk Academy Saints senior Howard Casterlow '25 played extraordinarily well Thursday in the Saints’ 35-0 win over the Catholic Crusaders. The first score of the game came on a beautiful 80-yard throw and catch from Vann Baggett '25 to Casterlow with 3:31 left in the first quarter. On the ensuing drive, Saints’ Joseph Petry '26 recovered a Crusaders fumble deep in Catholic territory. A few plays later, Baggett tucked the ball and waltzed into the endzone to push the lead to 14-0. Baggett and Casterlow hooked for more than 100 yards in the first half.
