Friday Night Highlights: Costello’s High School Career Comes To An End

St. John Bosco did St. John Bosco things to end Costello’s high school career, Ross and Farrar nearly got a first round playoff matchup against each other and more. The football season is officially winding down and playoffs are kicking in to high gear. Here’s your weekly recruit update!

Brendan Costello, Quarterback

San Clemente’s season came to an end last Friday at the hands of a 56-6 drubbing from St. John Bosco, the top ranked high school team in America. The Tritons didn’t enter stats from this game, but they were able to ruin the Braves shutout with a 17-yard touchdown strike as time expired. While it probably wasn’t the ending that Costello wanted, he did get to end his high school career by throwing a touchdown pass. Welcome home Cowboy!
