CLAYTON – The box score won’t say he starred in Friday night’s game at Clayton, but those who saw Gloucester’s Vince DiGiacomo play will beg to differ. The junior WR/DB had two big plays for the Lions – maybe the two biggest Friday night – setting up Gloucester for a 10-6 win against the Clippers.
Down 6-2 after Clayton took an intentional safety to end the third quarter, Gloucester found itself with a 4th-and-7 just inside Clippers’ territory. DiGiacomo took the snap as the punter and broke down the right sideline, gaining 16 yards and garnering a 15-yard personal foul against Clayton in the process. The play setup Gloucester’s go-ahead score.
Clayton’s ensuing possession ended with another great play by DiGiacomo. Facing 4th-and-5 at their own 47 – the same line of scrimmage where DiGiacomo took off for his punt fake -Clayton elected to throw a deep pass down the left sideline. DiGiacomo jumped in front of the pass and returned it 40 yards back into Clayton territory, sealing the game.
