High School Boys
In a game that turned out to be quite the upset, Cardinal Gibbons defeated the Naples Hammerheads 34-14 to win the Florida Boys High School final.
Naples had not lost all season before Saturday while Gibbons had had to pull themselves out of a 0-3-1 start, winning five straight to take it all.
St. Thomas Aquinas defeated Kingfishers 33-7 Saturday in a big match between well-regarded Kansas school teams.
Payton Ptasnik and Nick Jurczak were named players of the game.
In the B-side match, Aquinas won 43-10 and were led by Chris Glenn and Austin Turner.
In something of a momentous clash of highly-regarded high school teams, Aspetuck rode a dominant second half to come back and defeat Xavier High School 41-17 Saturday in West Haven, Conn.
Games this weekend are all over.
We crown a state champion in Florida, welcome Virginia, Maryland, Northern California, and Southern California to competition.
