Mount Carmel defeats Archbishop Curley High School 30-7 in PIE Classic debut

Our Lady of Mount Carmel School defeated Archbishop Curley High School 30-7 on Oct. 24 at Under Armour Stadium in Baltimore. The game served as the inaugural PIE Homecoming Classic, held during the 30th anniversary of the Partners In Excellence scholarship program.

The Cougars held a 14-0 lead at halftime and finished with the 30-7 victory. This win marks the first time Mount Carmel has defeated the Friars in five attempts and likely secures a spot in the upcoming MIAA B Conference playoffs.

Mount Carmel coach Josh Ward said the team wants to finish its remaining two regular season games against Pallotti and Annapolis Area Christian School to secure home field advantage for the playoffs. The Essex squad improved to 7-1 overall and 4-1 in the league.
