Mercy football loses in a rout

Bishop McGann-Mercy’s Pat Stepnoski looked for running room while Center Moriches’ Barron Gallow closed in on him.

The Center Moriches Red Devils and Bishop McGann-Mercy
Monarchs were two football teams looking for their first win on
Thursday, but the similarities just about ended there. Perhaps the
biggest difference between the teams — even bigger than the numbers
showing on the scoreboard — were the intensity levels they brought to
Harold T. Murray Memorial Field in Riverhead.
While
the Red Devils showed fire in their eyes and passion in their play, the
Monarchs, for the second half at least, appeared to be lacking both.
McGann-Mercy Coach Joe Read sensed that and was visibly — and audibly
— displeased with what he saw as a lackluster second half from his team
in its home opener, a 52-12 rout by Center Moriches.
