Moreau Catholic Mariners Outlast Piedmont 31-17 to Climb to 4-1

The Moreau Catholic Mariners football team won its way to a 31-17 victory over the Piedmont Indians on Friday night, September 25, 2026, at home in Hayward, California, improving its record to 4-1.

The Mariners did not build a decisive lead. Piedmont scored first, and the visitors led after the opening quarter. But Moreau answered in the second, and the decisive stretch came in the third quarter, when the Mariners outscored Piedmont 17 to 0. That run put the game away, and Moreau added a fourth-quarter score to make it 31-17.

For the full game, Moreau finished 31 points to 17. Piedmont's points came in the first quarter (3) and the fourth quarter (14). Moreau's came in the second quarter (7), the third quarter (17) and the fourth quarter (7). No individual player statistics or quotes were posted in the school's game-week updates, so the team effort shows in the scoring line: the third-quarter 17-0 stretch decided the contest.

The win moved Moreau to 4-1 on the season and extended a three-game winning streak. The result came in a non-conference matchup, one of the early stretch of the year that sets the tone before the regular conference slate.

The Mariners return to action on Friday, October 9, 2026, at 7:00 p.m., when they take on the Bishop O'Dowd Dragons from Oakland.
