Crespi took advantage of twoGolden Knights turnovers to score 14 of its 24 first-half points en route to a 31-17 victory over host St. Francis. ``They've done that all year. They've found a way to win when they were down, but we executed a lot better (than against Chaminade of West Hills) and we were able to come out and get a victory,'' said Crespi coach Jeremiah Ross Ross , Sir Ronald 1857-1932.

He won a 1902 Nobel Prize for proving that malaria is transmitted to humans by the bite of the mosquito. , whose team was victimized by fumbles the past twoweeks -- one that cost the Celts a chance to win against Canyon of Canyon Country and another that nearly allowed Chaminade to send the game into overtime. ``We knew we had to play a lot better on offense,'' Ross added. ``St. Francis is Francis I, king of France Francis I, 1494–1547, king of France (1515–47), known as Francis of Angoulême before he succeeded his cousin and father-in-law, King Louis XII. a good football team, and coach (Jim) Bonds does a great job getting them prepared. They play hard and they're fundamentally sound.'' Bonds didn't hold himself in as high regard Saturday after the Golden Knights
``In the first half, we just weren't there mentally. It wasn't hard for anybody to see that,'' said Bonds, whose team managed only a 35-yard field goal by Neil Favor in fivefirst-half possessions. ``I just didn't feel like we were ready to go, and I guess I have to take part of the blame for that.'' Leading 10-0 in the second quarter, Crespi (4-3), ranked No. 5 by the Daily News, recovered a fumble deep in St. Francis territory. D.J. Holt holt n. Archaic A wood or grove; a copse.

Another fumble by the No. 7 Golden Knights (5-2) on a punt return In American and Canadian football a punt return is one of the punt receiving team's options to respond to a punt. A player (usually a second or third string wide receiver or running back) positioned many yards from the line of scrimmage will attempt to catch or pick up the ball with less than a minute remaining before halftime set up Joseph Fauria's 19- yard touchdown pass from Kevin Prince. St. Francis closed the deficit to 24-10 on a 5-yard touchdown reception by Ed Tracy with 7:29 remaining in the third quarter, but Crespi responded on its next drive with a 2-yard scoring run by Austin Shanks

X to (the Pac-5 Division), but they've got some athletes and some big boys over there that can play football,'' Bonds said. ``I tried to tell our guys that even though they were 3-3, they played an awfully tough schedule.'' Shanks finished with 169yards of total offense and two touchdowns, the other a 48-yard reception from Prince (12 of 20, 186 yards). Daryl Carter added a 6-yard touchdown run for St. Francis on the first play of the fourth quarter, but the Golden Knights, who recorded a 31-15 victory in the last meeting between the teams in 2001, were stopped on downs on their final two drives. ``We knew St. Francis was going to come back and play hard (in the second half),'' Ross said. erik.boal@dailynews.com (818) 713-3607 CAPTION(S): 2 photos Photo: (1) St. Francis' Kyle <noinclude></noinclude> ''This article or section is being rewritten at One derivation of the surname is from the Scottish Highland word caol, 'channel', or 'strait'.
