Chris Dietrich of Pope John drops back to pass against Seton Hall Prep during the football game at Pope John XXIII High School in Sparta, NJ on Saturday, September 2, 2023.Everything was stacked against Pope John, No. 12 in the NJ.com Top 20, going into Friday night’s match-up with No. 4 DePaul.Just a week after it was handed a 30-6 loss by No.
“He’s a phenomenal leader. He’s showcasing everything,” said Johnston of his quarterback. “We haven’t seen him run a lot, and now he’s showcasing that. He’s an all-around great player, great captain. He leads this team and makes sure we have all the confidence. We all look to him, definitely.” That’s when Dietrich went to work, as a few completions- including a fourth-down pass to Charles Mulligan-kept Pope John’s hopes alive. Akei Griffin’s 24-yard run put Pope John at the 7-yard line, where Tyler Houser finished off the drive and put his team in the lead for good with a TD run with 55 seconds left.
Fifty-five seconds was still plenty of time for Zammit and DePaul, as it took over at its own 26. It drove across midfield, before Johnston made the biggest defensive play of the game, breaking up a pass intended for De’zie Jones on fourth down to secure the win.“I started on the other side. Cole says always to find work,” Johnston said. “If there’s nobody near you, you have to go find someone. All the time in practice, we’re working on playing through the hands, and you see what happens.
