ALLENTOWN – Central Catholic’s junior quarterback Brendan Nosovitch set the tone Saturday night with two long touchdown runs in the second quarter en route to a 42-7 win over Bethlehem Freedom at J. Birney Crum Stadium.
Nosovitch led the way rushing for 156 yards while throwing for 135 yards and two scores. His plays out weighed his three turnovers last night.

McDermott rushed for 60 yards on nine carries.
The Patriots tied the game up in the first quarter on a Lukas Giovarelli one-yard touchdown run with 3:29 left.
The Vikings would dominate the second quarter and take control of the game. Nosovitch scored on runs of 39 and 48 yards.
After Nosovitch threw his second interception of the night, the Vikings recovered a Freedom fumble. Three plays later he found Kevin McKellick for an eight-yard strike giving the Vikings a 28-7 lead.
The second half Nosovitch threw his second touchdown of the night hitting Kevin Gulyas for the 19-yard score.
The mercy rule went into effect when McDermott scored on the 23-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
Brendan Nosovitch said, “Freedom’s definitely a good team. We just came out and made a lot of big plays.”
The Viking defense held the Patriots to174 yards of total offense.

The body language of Freedom’s defensive players said it all.
Late 2nd early 3rd quarter’ players had their hands on their hips and eyes on the ground. Freedom could not stop Centrals offense.
This game could not end soon enough!
