Caleb Sanchez continues to impress and the national second-ranked St. John Bosco Braves continue to win. 

The 6-foot-3, 220-pound senior quarterback and first-year starter threw for 265 yards and four touchdowns to four different receivers in a 37-14 home win over Baltimore power St. Frances Academy. 

Sanchez completed scoring passes to Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa (6 yards), Stacy Dobbins (12), Daniel Odom (47) and Madden Williams (15) to lead the Braves to 4-0 on the season.

Playing one of the most rugged schedules in the country, St. Frances Academy dropped to 0-4. 

UCLA-bound Cameron Jones started the scoring for the Braves with a 2-yard run, then it was Sanchez who went to work. He came into the game completing 79 percent of his passes (73 of 93) for 840 yards and seven touchdowns without an interception. 

Oregon commit Michael Van Buren fired a touchdown pass to Jeremiah Koger to cut Bosco's lead to 14-7 late in the first half. But the Braves drove right downfield with Sanchez completing a TD pass to Dobbins to take control by halftime.
