Where Is St. Ed's Football Ranked Heading Into Ignatius Game?

LAKEWOOD, OH — The St. Edward Eagles football team is the last undefeated team in OSHAA's Region I, Division I. Despite the unblemished record, the team still finds itself ranked 2, behind rival St. Ignatius (8-1). Luckily, the Eagles will have the chance to right that injustice on Saturday.

On Saturday, the top ranked St. Ignatius Wildcats and undefeated St. Edward Eagles will face off in their annual rivalry football game. The two teams will square off at Lakewood Stadium, 14806 Detroit Ave. at 7 p.m.

St. Ignatius' lone loss on the season came at the hands of Archbishop Moeller, a Cincinnati-based high school. The Wildcats lost that game 41-20.

St. Edward defeated Archbishop Moeller Oct. 21, 31-7. It wasn't enough to vault St. Ed's past their rivals in the rankings.

Saturday's game against St. Ignatius will be the final game of the regular season. OHSAA will announce teams that have qualified for the Ohio high school football playoffs on Sunday.
