GRR: St. Ignatius
Newly #1-ranked school team St. Ignatius capped off Senior Night with a 64-24 victory over rivals St. Edward in a midweek meeting of the two Cleveland, Ohio teams.
The game was the finale match of the Cavoli Cup, the challenge trophy inaugurated this season that tracks results including Varsity, JV, and Freshmen and is named after a beloved teacher who taught at both schools.
A blistering offense against a stalwart defense went the way of the try-scorers as #2-ranked St. Ignatius of Cleveland beat #1 Xavier of New York in a very entertaining matchup in neutral territory in Hollidaysburg, Pa.
It is a rare thing to see a mid-season #1 vs #2; it happens, but it is rare.
This week we get one of those games, with Xavier of New York meeting St. Ignatius of Cleveland in a neutral site in Pennsylvania.
Leading single-school teams had a good weekend this week, although some games were a little bit tougher than others.
St. Ignatius defeated St. Edward and the wind Saturday to take the first leg of the Cavoli Cup.
The Cavoli Cup is the new challenge trophy between the two Cleveland rivals, with games from Freshmen to Varsity all counting towards the trophy.
