DeSales beat Cincinnati Purcell Marian 20-0 in a State Semifinal and advanced to their fourth State Championship game and second straight. On their first possession of the game, DeSales put together an 11-play, 67-yard drive and David Cook’s 1-yard run gave the Stallions a 7-0 lead. As the game progressed, the playing conditions worsened, but DeSales’ defense (pictured above) would earn the shutout, their third of the season. Matt Bajorek had a seven-yard touchdown run and the Stallion defense intercepted four Purcell Marian passes. David Cook also added a score for DeSales.
