St. Xavier of Cincinnati scored 21 unanswered points on its way to a 28-7 win over DeMatha from Hyattsville, Maryland in Sunday's showdown between national powers in the Kirk Herbstreit Ohio Vs. USA Challenge III. The loss snapped DeMatha's 22-game win streak.
St. X, which entered the game ranked #4 by USA Today, was playing without its star running back Darius Ashley, who sprained his ankle in the team's season opener. In Ashley's absence quarterback John Hurley threw three TD passes, while Patrick Berning rushed for 99-yards and one touchdown.
The St. Xavier defense was awesome allowing just 132 yards in total offense. Meanwhile the DeMatha "D" was really tested. In fact, the 28 points allowed was the more than it allowed in the Stags first seven games combined in 2006.
