#2 St. Xavier (OH) Squares Off With Backyard Rival


It's the battle of Cincinnati tonight as #2 St. Xavier squares-off with Elder. Up until a couple of weeks ago, this match-up looked like it would have national implications.

That was three weeks ago when Elder snapped Independence's (Charlotte, NC) 109-game win streak at the Ohio Vs. USA Challenge. However, after two straight losses to La Salle (28-19) and St. Edward (10-7), St. X comes in as a heavy favorite in the match-up that began back in 1923.

Sincere 2002, these two have combined for three Division I state titles (Elder '02, & '03, St. Xavier '05).
