What a week in high school football as two of the previously ranked top 5 teams went down. Trinity lost to Archbishop Moeller and St. Edward won “The Holy War” over St. Ignatius. St. Ignatius will get a chance to climb back in the rankings as they get a chance to beat some really good teams in the Ohio Division 1 state tournament.
