Game Notes

St. Xavier Bombers put away DeMatha 28-7.

Despite playing without star RB Darius Ashley (Louisville), the Bombers get 141 yards rushing from the reserves to beat the Stags who are shutdown by the St. Xavier defense. John Hurley's 23-yard TD pass to WR Danny Milligan (Cincinnati) gets the Bombers in front early. The Stags answer with a 6-yard TD run by Ashby Christian.

But DeMatha is unable to break loose star WRs Kenny Tate (Maryland) and Rodney McLeod (Virginia) and stagnate on offense. St. Xavier goes up for good on a TD pass from Hurley to Patrick Kelly. Milligan adds a 2nd TD catch.

St. Xavier includes S Fred Craig (Stanford), DE Greg Scruggs (Louisville), DE Joe Langen (Lafayette), LB Nick Schneider (Yale), TE Stephon Ball (Louisville), WR Jon Scheidler (Cornell), junior DT Pat Muldoon (Wisconsin), junior LB Luke Kuechly (Boston College).

DeMatha includes TE Joe Collura (Air Force), OT Rob McDowell (Delaware), OT Stanley Henry (Morgan State), OG Sheldon Sellman (Liberty), RB Ryan Clark (West Virginia), LB Richard Ndubueze (Morgan State), DB Jonathan Mason (Harvard), junior OT Pete DeSouza (Maryland), junior QB Tom Chroniger (Towson State), junior WR Emmanuel McPhearson (New Mexico), junior DE Jeremiah Mathis (Virginia).
