Six boys state champions were crowns Saturday at Rugby Ohio's Finals Day at Fortess Obetz just outside Columbus, with some impressive showings, and two very dramatic finishes.
(Analysis Column by Alex Goff)—It is a rare thing that I as a journalist get a front-row seat to a championship team throughout the season.
Having been ranked #1 for much of the season, St. Ignatius rolled into Elkhart, Ind. with a massive target on their backs and even more massive expectations.
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.
