Big Game, Big Stage, Sloppy Play

Saturday, September 19, 2020
St. Ignatius Wildcats v. St. Edward Eagles
FirstEnergy Stadium, Cleveland, OH

In a huge rivalry matchup in Northern Ohio on Saturday night, the play on the field stumbled on the big stage. Playing at the NFL venue of the Cleveland Browns, the homestanding St. Ignatius Wildcats along with their visiting rivals, had trouble in the first half with ball control.

Six first half turnovers led to a struggling offensive showdown. St. Edward broke the scoreless draw early in the second quarter on a 16 yard TD pass. St. Ignatius drove the field late in the half, settling for a 27 field goal attempt. The snap and hold looked fine, but the ball sailed wide, leaving the home side with a 7-0 deficit going into the break.

Both teams settled their respective cases of fumblitis, and St. Edward converted their stability into points. After a pass breakup by St. Ignatius on a pass to the endzone, St. Edward settled for their own field goal attempt, converting a 22-yard attempt with 3:51 left in the third.

Despite the two score game, St. Ignatius spent more time spinning their tires, trying to get an offensive rhythm going and moving the ball effectively. St. Edward salted the game away, though, with a 34 yard TD run on the first play on the fourth quarter, and the extra point extended the lead to three scores.

After that, it was a bend-but-don’t-break defensive mindset for the upbeat Eagles who kept the beleaguered Wildcat offense in front them and held on for the shutout victory on the 2020 season’s version of Senior Night for the Wildcats.
