Monty Madaris proved too much for St. Xavier High School’s football team to handle Friday night.

Cincinnati Moeller’s outstanding wide receiver caught three long touchdown passes in a 27-10 victory by the host Crusaders (4-0).

Madaris — who is being recruited by several FBS schools, including Nebraska — hauled in a 46-yard scoring pass from Spencer Iacovone in the first quarter and 80- and 48-yard TD passes from Ricky Davis in the second half.

In all he caught seven passes for 206 yards.

The Tigers (2-3) pulled within 14-10 in the third quarter on Brad Schickel’s 27-yard field goal, a 48-yard TD pass from Alex Mattingly to Charles Walker and Schickel’s extra point.

Madaris then scored his two second-half TDs to put the game away.

Walker was St. X’s leading rusher with 61 yards on 13 attempts.
