STUART – Three teams wrapped up their 20 days of spring football practice Tuesday, May 19 at South Fork High School. John Carroll Catholic played the first two halves and won them both. The Rams opened with a 21-7 victory over South Fork at Joebud Scaggs Stadium.

John Carroll then knocked off Fort Pierce Central, 14-7. “This gives us a ton of momentum going into the offseason,” Rams coach Mickey Groody said. “I was really proud of how we played as a whole.

” Central came back in the final half to defeat the host Bulldogs, 21-7. John Carroll takeaways 1. The Rams scored on all three possessions against South Fork, getting a 20-yard touchdown pass from Carter Cullen to KJ Davis, a 9-yard run by Jaydien Pittman and a 7-yard pass from Chance Sullivan to Anthony Celestino.

John Carroll made it five touchdowns in seven possessions with a pair of scores against Central. Felix Jackson rambled in from 11 yards out, and Donevon Richardson hauled in a 14-yard pass from Cullen.
