St. Ignatius have won Rugby Ohio's Boys DI HS championship, defeating St. Edward 12-5 in the final.

The game was played Tuesday, June 2 after the originally-scheduled final was postponed due to weather. The teams played Tuesday evening. The key to the victory for St. Ignatius was probably the Wild Cats' defense.  The defense even produced the key offensive plays. Kevin Stefancin burst through to block a kick and that led to Geoff DiMassa scoring the winning try, turning a 5-5 deadlock into a 12-5 lead.

With Stefancin, Patrick Berry, DMassa, and Andrew Baldado making punishing runs, Ignatius controlled a lot of possession.

Near the end of the game, St. Edward broke through and made it to the Ignatius line. They in fact made it over the line, but were held up, and the Wild Cats hung on to win the championship trophy.

These two teams met three times this season, with St Edward 15-10 in the final of the Midwest Championship, and then 31-17 three days later. But Ignatius made their adjustments and won the state championship.
