Lyle/Pacelli jumped out to a 33-0 lead at St. Clair Friday night behind the arm and legs of quarterback Dannny Griebrok, and cruised to an easy 33-22 victory.
Griebrok hooked up with tight end Phil Halbach for a nine-yard pass for a score late in the first quarter.
Greibrok, who was 9 for 16 with 96 yards and two touchdowns as well as one on the ground, also found Jason Helgeson for a 24-yard score in the second quarter.
Halbach, who finished with four catches for 51 yards, also caught a 36-yard TD from none other than Helgeson, who threw his first touchdown on a trick play which worked to perfection.
Helgeson caught three passes for 52 yards.
"We thought we should’ve beaten Medford," L/P coach Mark Bjunte said. "We came out with alot more intensity this game."
