In a bit of a statement result #1-ranked school team St. Ignatius defeated #7 club team Aspetuck 45-14 Saturday.
Aspetuck provided a stern test for the Wildcats and got two spectacular tries from flyhalf Pearson Hill, but found difficult exerting control over Ignatius in tight.
"Pearson Hill is a stud; he was the best player on the pitch," said St. Ignatius Head Coach Dan Arbeznik. "We didn’t even give him an inch. We have four guys in a wall against him and he steps one way pushes off another guy and has a sliver of space and takes it and he's gone. He scored two tries that way."
But with John Reddy making the gainline almost every time he took the ball up and the halfback combo of Sean Lipaj and Bobby Voth making gains with the boot and moving the ball to runners, Ignatius was too much.
