Salesianum Holds Off Smyrna’s Late Rally for 32-26 Victory
NEWARK, Del. - Salesianum held off a determined Smyrna comeback to secure a 32-26 victory Friday night, Oct. 9, 2026, at Delaware Stadium on the campus of the University of Delaware.
Salesianum running back Jett Healy (8) led the Sallies with three rushing touchdowns, including two in the fourth quarter. Running back EJ Cotton (2) also found the end zone, while quarterback Brady Nabb (12) connected with wide receiver Jamar Taylor (6) on several crucial plays.
Trailing 18-12 at halftime, Smyrna battled back behind quarterback Drew Marks (2), who connected with Mikiah Jackson (14) for a first-half touchdown and later scored on a fourth-quarter run.
The game intensified when Salesianum defensive back Tysir Jones (4) was ejected following an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
Trailing 32-18 late in the fourth quarter, Smyrna scored another touchdown and converted a two-point attempt to pull within six points with 58 seconds remaining.
However, Salesianum recovered the ensuing onside kick and ran out the clock to secure the victory.
