    Senior RB Manigo carries Bellarmine to 37-3 rout

    The senior running back carried the ball 16 times for 203 yards and two touchdowns Saturday as ninth-ranked Bellarmine used big plays to roll to a 37-3 West Catholic Athletic League win over No. 17 St. Ignatius.

    Austin Ajiake scored on a 70-yard run, and Jack Geiger drilled a 44-yard field goal to send the Bells into the locker room with a 23-3 lead.

    Sophomore running back Mark Biggins (seven carries, 49 yards) and Dearan Roche (31-yard field goal) also had good games for St. Ignatius (2-2, 0-1).

    Bellarmine and St. Francis tied for the WCAL title last season, though the Bells won the regular-season game 28-26, their 11th straight win in the series.

    Salesian’s Jaylen Tregle scored on a 1-yard sneak, then added a two-point conversion run in the final 30 seconds for a 28-27 lead.

    On the last play of the game, Nate Jackson, who had already recorded four sacks, picked up a fumble and returned it 40 yards for the final margin of victory for the Pride (3-1), who fought back from a 21-0 deficit.

    Tregle hooked up with Joe Helfrich on a 20-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth to close to 27-20, their second TD connection.

    Nick Calzaretta ran for three touchdowns, Trevor Foehr threw for two and the defense did the rest as the Giants (4-1, 1-1 Marin County Athletic League) rebounded from a lopsided loss last week with a decisive home win over the Braves (1-4, 0-2).
