 decided to put Saturday night's nonleague football game out of reach in the first half.

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.

``We knew we had to play a lot better on offense,'' Ross added. ``St. Francis is Francis I, king of France

 dropped their second game in a row following 10 consecutive nonleague victories, including three in a row in come-from-behind fashion earlier this season.

``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

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

``A lot was said because they made a big jump going from Div. 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.
