It was a toe-to-toe matchup between two of the most physical teams in the High School Football America 100 in New Jersey and when the dust cleared, No. 8 St. Frances Academy (Maryland) walked away with a 28-0 road shutout of No. 4 St. Joseph Regional (3-1) from Montvale, New Jersey.

SFA led 7-0 at the break with St. Joe’s missing a couple of field goal opportunities. The Panthers then scores 21 points in the third quarter to win their fifth game in six tries. SFA’s only loss was on the road against No. 1 Mater Dei in California.

According to Pat Lanni of NJ.com, it was the first time that the Green Knights have been shutout since 2011.

The last time SJR got shut out? 2011 by Don Bosco Prep, NJ's last team to finish No. 1 in the country. Nobody from NJ will come close to sniffing that this year. https://t.co/tdxyuYVfww #NJFootball
