Dillon Booth had an interception and Taurian Nash had fumble recovery to go with his six total tackles and one quarterback pressure.
Crean Lutheran’s All-Orange County kicker Connor Stephens picked up where he left off last year with a perfectly executed onside kick, four touchbacks and also went 4 for 4 on PAT’s, according to Curtis.
Bey had a 36-yard kickoff return and Javari Nash blocked a punt to give the Saints great field position.
