MILLER, Mo. — Alex Stoll scored four of his six touchdowns in the second quarter Saturday to spark St. Genevieve Valle Catholic to a 56-26 quarterfinal win in the MSHSAA Class 1 football playoffs.Both teams went into the contest with 11-1 records. Miller’s Daniel Parscal opened the scoring on a 33-yard touchdown scamper but that was the last time the Cardinals would hold the lead.The Warriors led 14-12 after the first quarter before expanding the lead to 42-12 at halftime. Stoll’s four TDs paved the way for Valle’s second-quarter outburst, while Miller failed to get on the board.“They ran on us really well,” said Miller assistant coach Derek Hill. “We had a couple of big plays but we just could not capitalize on opportunities. They did and we did not and that is basically the story, especially of the second quarter.”Valle’s Luke Euding scored on an 82-yard kickoff return and a 77-yard run before Miller closed out the first-quarter scoring on a 1-yard plunge by Justin Jack.The only third-quarter score by either team came when Miller’s Stewart Parnell blocked a punt attempt and ran the ball back 35 yards for a touchdown.Parscal carried the ball 23 times for 141 yards rushing and one TD. Stoll had 107 rushing yards.
