St. Ed's Football Returns Friday Against Mentor

LAKEWOOD, OH — The St. Edward football team will kick-off its season Friday in a revenge game against Mentor High. The two squads squared off in last season's regional semifinals playoff game, where the Cardinals upset St. Ed's, 21-13.

St. Edward had a fantastic 2017-2018 season, going undefeated until the team lost to bitter rival St. Ignatius in the last game of the regular season. With a rematch against the Wildcats on the line, the Eagles' hopes of retribution were dashed by Mentor.

The Eagles will be looking to grab some revenge, on the road, against Mentor. St. Edward will return home for its first home game on August 31 against Cass Technial, from Michigan.

This year's Holy War rivalry game will again be played at FirstEnergy Stadium, where St. Ignatius and St. Edward will face off October 26.

Here is the St. Edward football schedule for 2018-2019:

• at Mentor High - August 24
• vs Cass Technical - August 31
• vs Cathedral Prep - September 7
• at Elder High - September 15
• vs COF Academy - September 22
• at Buchtel High - September 29
• vs Cathedral - October 6
• vs St. Joseph Catholic - October 12
• at Archbishop Moeller High - October 20
• vs St. Ignatius High - October 26 (at FirstEnergy Stadium)
