St. Anthony had plenty of opportunities on Friday night but failed to finish their drives as the Saints came up short against visiting Harvard-Westlake 14-0 at St. Paul High School.

The St. Anthony football team won’t play its regular season finale at St. Pius X – St. Matthias Academy on Friday, the school administration announced today.

St. Anthony (2-5, 0-1) is back on the road for their second Del Rey League game of the season, visiting St. Genevieve (1-6, 0-2) for a 7 p.m. contest played at LA Valley College.

The Valiants have lost three straight coming into the game, including a 23-6 non-league loss to Campbell Hall. That’s a common opponent for St. Anthony, which was a 7-0 loss in the Saints’ non-league finale.

The Lady Saints Golf team is still undefeated at 7-0 and improved to 3-0 in league play with a 244-289 victory over Paraclete last week. Valenzuela was the low scorer once again for the Saints.

St. Anthony freshman Noah Furlow wasn’t expecting to play as the Saints took on Marina Friday night in Downey.

But, when junior Adrian Perez had to be sidelined due to an injury Furlow was thrust into his first varsity action, just one day after leading the Saints freshman team to a win.

St. Anthony senior Elijah Lolesio-Pua helped the Saints to their first win of the season this week, as they brought home a victory against Wilson. Lolesio-Pua had an offensive and defensive touchdown in the win.

When Raul Lara says something like, “It’s one of the better drives I’ve ever had as a coach” you have to take notice.

The decorated Lara and his St. Anthony Saints rode the momentum of a game-opening 16-play, 93-yard, seven minute scoring drive to beat visiting Wilson 22-13 on Friday night at St. Pius X-St. Matthias Academy.

Third time’s the charm, right? The Saints are looking to gain their first win of the season in week three against the Dominguez Dons. After a disappointing back-to-back losses, the Saints are looking to change momentum this week at Compton College.

St. Anthony made an impressive run to a CIF Southern Section title game last season during coach Raul Lara’s first year.

However, the Saints started that season with three tough losses before mounting a furious run to make their way into the postseason.

St. Anthony kicks off a challenging nonleague schedule on the road Friday evening at San Pedro, their second year of a two-year contract. The Pirates defeated the Saints 42-0 last year and went on to win the LA City Section championship, which they’re favorites to win once again this year.
