The Carey offense is known for running the football. But Friday afternoon, the Seahawks showed they could do plenty of damage through the air, too.
Senior quarterback Sal D’Amato completed all nine of his passes for 170 yards and a touchdown, and senior wide receiver Vince Vicari caught six passes for 131 yards and a score as host Carey defeated Calhoun, 43-12, in Nassau Conference II.
The Seahawks improved to 5-0 behind a balanced offensive attack that also featured four rushing touchdowns from Justin DePietro.
“Obviously, we’re great friends outside of the football field, but on the field, it clicks, too,” D’Amato said of his connection with Vicari. “Finally getting going with him. … When he’s going, I’m going, and when we’re going, the whole team’s going. So it’s just a link between all of us together as one.”
