#8 Cardinal Mooney Tries To Go Back-to Back in Ohio



It's been quite a year for Cardinal Mooney (Youngstown, OH). The Cardinals have enjoyed high national rankings thanks to solid wins against top-notch competition, plus a several players giving verbal commitments to top-notch programs like Oklahoma, Notre Dame and Penn State.

Saturday, Mooney will go after its second straight Ohio Division IV high school football championship and in the process extend its win streak to 30-games. The Cardinals will take-on Coldwater, the last team to beat C-M. That was in the 2005 state title game 33-9.

Mooney has won its last two games without the services of Notre Dame-bound quarterback Dan McCarthy, who's sat out because of a neck injury. No word on whether McCarthy will play on Saturday.

The Cardinals have already beaten Division I finalist Mentor and Division V finalist Youngstown Ursuline, gave Steubenville its first loss in three years, plus beat, at the time, nationally-ranked Gateway in the Ohio vs. USA Challenge.
