La Salle was about business Friday. It didn't take long to see why.

Friday was about business for the La Salle football team as they faced off against their rival, North Kingstown. The Rams quickly took control, dismantling the team they had beaten in Week 1. La Salle's quarterback, Sam Perry, threw for three touchdowns, while wide receiver Jabari Jackson caught three as well. The game ended with a 40-22 victory for La Salle.

North Kingstown's defensive strategy focused on preventing La Salle's top receivers - Jabari Jackson, Brendan Cardoso, and Jalen Moseley - from dominating the game. However, La Salle's speed proved too much for NK's defense. On their second possession, Perry found Jackson wide open for a 50-yard touchdown, followed by a 30-yard score on the next play.

Jackson continued to shine throughout the game, showcasing his incredible speed and ability to create separation from defenders. NK had to triple the coverage on Cardoso and Moseley, leaving Brendan Cardoso open and easy to exploit. La Salle's defense also stepped up, with Elijah Bento scoring a short touchdown run to seal the game.

Despite a brief scare when North Kingstown quarterback Matt Auclair was injured early in the game, La Salle's defense held firm. Nick Stafford stepped in as the Wildcat quarterback and managed to generate some yards, but couldn't put the game away. Stafford finished with over 200 rushing yards, including three touchdowns, and nearly added another 100 receiving yards.

La Salle will face Hendricken in the State Championship Super Bowl for the third straight year. The Rams have lost the last two finals but won the title in 2022. Jackson, who played three seasons at Hendricken before joining La Salle, is focused on playing each game as if it's just another one. The match against Hendricken will be the fourth straight season Jackson is in the game.
