Carey defeated Half Hollow Hills East 37-36 on Friday night in one of the greatest games you'll ever see. That isn't just one of the greatest high school games, but overall this game had it all.
With the win Carey finishes with an unbeaten record of 12-0 and win their first title since 2014. The win also will secure Christian Todaro's name into the Carey record books, as he hits legendary status with this performance.
Todaro scored the first TD of the game and the two point conversion. With that Octopus Carey led 8-0 but that lead didn't last long. Nick Sevilla threw a TD minutes later and Danny White's two point conversion tied the game at 8 points a piece as we got an early look at the seesaw battle that was ahead.
Christian Todaro and White then scored the next two TD's to make it 15-14 Hills East, followed by a long Todaro TD making it 22-15 Carey until Sevilla scored late in the half to knot it at 22 a piece.
Daniel White had almost 200 yards rushing at the half and it was anyone's game. Coming out of the locker room Nick Sevilla hooked up with Lucas Martin twice to take a 14 point lead in the 3rd, but Carey would not go away. They scored on a 4th and 2 try and followed that up with an interception near the goal line. Then, with just over a minute Todaro scored again and the extra point would tie the game.
But, Carey called a trick play, went for two and they took a one point lead. With Hills East driving, and in field goal range looking for the win with just seconds to play, you know who, the two way player Todaro intercepts the pass and seals the game and his place in history.
