#5 St. Xavier (OH) Looks To Close Out Perfect Regular Season

Two quarterbacks at opposite ends of high school careers will probably play a big role in the outcome of tonight's Cincinnati high school football showdown between St. Xavier (9-0)and Moeller (6-2).

St. X, ranked #5 in the USA Today Super 25, will be led by sophomore quarterback Luke Massa, who started his first varsity game last week and led the Bombers to a 17-14 triple overtime win over St. Ignatius. Moeller will try to ride the right arm of senior Ross Oltorik, who last week threw for a career high 384-yards against St. Edward and became the school's all-time leading passer.

Both teams have already clinched Division I playoff berths, but the Greater Catholic League South title is on-the-line. St. Xavier will clinch the championship outright with a win, but a win by Moeller would mean the two would have to share the title.
