St. Christopher's defeated Norfolk Academy 17-10 in a game they took control of in the 1st minute. Quarterback Chase Roberts threw a touchdown pass and ran one in, while the St. Christopher's defense forced three turnovers. The Saints had an interception on the very first play of the game, and seconds later, Roberts connected with J.J. Tidwell for a 44-yard touchdown 65 seconds into the game.

Roberts ran 31 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter, and the Saints took a 14-0 lead into halftime. Kicker Willie Sterling converted his 3rd field goal in the last three games to extend the lead to 17-0 at the start of the 4th quarter.

Norfolk Academy finally got on the scoreboard with a field goal by Henry Chesson. The score was set up by a 51-yard reception from Davis Steadman to Jacob Dyer. Chesson returned a blocked kick 75 yards for a touchdown with 23 seconds remaining.

Chesson accounted for all 10 of the Bulldogs' points with a field goal, returned a blocked field goal for a touchdown, and converting the extra point.

The Saints' defense limited Norfolk Academy to -10 yards rushing and 115 yards passing (51 coming on one pass). Defensive end Drew Pendlebury had a momentum-turning interception that stopped a Norfolk Academy scoring drive.
