Catawba 49, Livingstone 17

SALISBURY, North Carolina - Catawba's record against Livinstone stayed unblemished, but the Indians' 49-17 victory on Saturday night had a different look. Catawba won its 13th straight in the series, but this wasn't one of those over-before-halftime, play-everyone-with-a-uniform, hide-the women-and children Mayor's Cup massacres that fans have gotten accustomed to.

"This was a football game," agreed Catawba's L.J. McCray, who made an interception and returned three kickoffs for 133 yards. "The truth is Livingstone came over here and played like they believed they would win it."

Both young quarterbacks - Catawba redshirt freshman B.J. Sherrill and Livingstone true freshmen Drew Powell - were sensational. Sherrill threw for 317 yards and three TDs. Powell accounted for two scores, threw for 305 yards and was the Blue Bears' leading rusher with 65 yards.

"Livingstone's passing scheme was great, and the quarterback was very good," McCray said. "Every time they got a man open over the middle, he completed a pass."
