Prep football roundup: Gonzaga Prep duo combines for 352 yards and 5 TDs in win over Mead

Gonzaga Prep rolled past Mead 56-21 Friday night behind the rushing duo of Ryan McKenna and Matteo Saccomanno, continuing its dominant start to the Greater Spokane League season.

The Bullpups (4-0) jumped out to a 35-point lead at halftime over the visiting Panthers (2-2).

McKenna had 13 carries for 182 yards and three touchdowns while Saccomanno ran 14 times for 170 yards and two scores.

McKenna scored a 41-yard rushing touchdown on the Bullpups’ first possession, followed by an interception return touchdown by G-Prep defensive lineman Cavan McKeirnan on the ensuing Mead possession.

The Bullpups’ defense forced the Panthers to punt on their next five possessions leading into halftime. Meanwhile, G-Prep scored rushing touchdowns on three of its next six drives from Saccomanno, McKenna and Nick Bankey.

Mead scored its first points on the first play of the second half with a kickoff return touchdown from Colby Price. G-Prep answered with a 53-yard touchdown run from Saccomanno to make the score 42-7.

The Panthers and Bullpups traded touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

Mead scored first on a 21-yard pass from Colby Danielson to Max Workman, then G-Prep’s McKenna scored on a 1-yard run. The Panthers’ final touchdown was a 3-yard run by Schuyler Harkness, followed by a 92-yard kickoff return from G-Prep’s Tyler Gustaveson.

G-Prep will be on the road next week at Ridgeline, while Mead is at Cheney.
