GRR: Kingfishers
Notre Dame de la Salette made a bit of a statement this weekend with two well-taken wins over St. Edward and St. Martin's.
St. Edward from Cleveland and St. Martin's Kingfishers from Kansas converged on La Salette's campus in Illinois for a weekend of games. St. Martin's beat St. Edward 36-24 while NDDLS beat both by similar scores: 45-5 over St. Edward, and 43-13 over St. Martin's.
In a somewhat bizarre final, St. Martin's Kingfishers defeated St. Thomas Aquinas 26-19 to win the Kansas State championships.
This was the third time these two teams had met this season; the first game was a fairly convincing win for Aquinas; the second was a close victory for STA. But this third time the game went to Kingfishers.
St. Thomas Aquinas defeated St. Martin's Kingfishers in an almighty all-Kansas midweek clash Wednesday night.
Over and above the game, we now have a bona-fide rivalry. Kingfishers has been building and in fact beat Aquinas for the Kansas state championship last year. Of course, that's just one year, and if you want a rivalry, you need staying power.
The top teams in Kansas, St. Martin's and St. Thomas Aquinas, both put down strong results against tough teams over the weekend.
St. Martin's visited 901 in Germantown, Tenn. and came away 44-7 winners.
Facing an athletic and physically strong 901 side St. martin's had to work hard to cap off their scoring chances. But they did that, taking a 25-0 lead into the break.
The Kansas City Jr. Blues faced off with St. Martin’s Kingfishers this past weekend in Fort Scott, Kans. and this game ended with a solid win for Kingfishers.
