Janarro Sumpter leads Cardinal Newman to win against John Carroll Catholic

Cardinal Newman running back Janarro Sumpter recorded two rushing touchdowns and two interceptions, including a pick-six, to secure a 45-14 win over John Carroll Catholic on Friday. The Crusaders established a 42-point lead in the first half, triggering a mercy-rule running clock for the remainder of the contest. Sumpter, who previously contributed to the team's Class 1A state title run, has transitioned into a primary role within the Cardinal Newman offense this season. Head coach Jack Daniels noted Sumpter's development as both a physical tackler and a ball carrier following the graduation of Phoenix Donghia. The team now prepares for a upcoming matchup against West Boca Raton. Sumpter's performance comes after a 190-yard rushing game in the previous week's victory over Cardinal Mooney.
