A lopsided first two quarters resulted in Carlton trailing at the half for the first time this season.

The Crusaders gave up a season-high 30 points and five turnovers in the first two quarters. While in the half, Carlton failed to get on the board despite being within ten yards of the endzone on multiple occasions.

A different story in the second half as Carlton managed to find their footing and score some points with Tristan O’Connell pulling in a pass from Sullivan Smith-Windsor along with an early third quarter field goal however, St. Joseph also did the same in the second half as the Guardians fed the Crusaders their first loss of the season, 47-10.

Carlton is back at home for their next matchup where they will play host to the Tommy Douglas Tigers on Friday.
