TheWildcats have defeated both Elder and Archbishop Moeller, and lookto defeat St. Xavier on Saturday to claim bragging rights as the unofficial champs of the GCL. Moeller claimed the official title by defeating Elder on October 5, 24-21. Only once in program history have theWildcats beaten three Cincinnati teams in one season – in 2008. TheWildcats defeated La Salle (50-0) and St. Xavier (19-16 in OT) in theregular season and Elder (28-20) in the state championship.OL’ RELIABLE: The Saint Ignatius passing attack has reliably providedthe Wildcats with points during the team’s six-game winning streak.The Wildcats have notched a passing touchdown in each of the lastsix contests. Quarterback Patrick Delahunty has thrown for 150 yardsin each of the last 5 games, totaling 1,289 yards and 12 touchdowns onthe season.State Champ.THREE YARDS AND A CLOUD OF DUST: Jahadge “Bo” Floyd andJack Welcsh have toted the rock this season, wearing down defenders and opening space for the passing game. Floyd has 401 yards and5 touchdowns on the year, while Welcsh has 284 yards and 4 scores.As a team, the Wildcats have reached the end zone 13 times via theMeetings .25 ground, including at least once per game in the last five weeks.First Meeting .10/26/1991Most Recent Meeting.10/21/2017 UNDER PRESSURE: Since Tommy Eichenberg moved to middle line-Series HistorySaint Ignatius Wins.12Last Saint Ignatius Win.10/21/2017St. Xavier Wins.13Last St. Xavier Win.12/2/2016Ties.0Longest Winning Streaks In SeriesSaint Ignatius.4; 10/26/91-10/25/97St. Xavier.6; 10/19/02-10/20/07Current Streak.Saint Ignatius, 1Largest Margin of VictorySaint Ignatius.31 points; 12/1/01St. Xavier.22 points; 10/22/05backer in Week 3, the Wildcats’ defense has been nearly unstoppable.Opponents have scored just 33 points, including just 7 against theWildcats’ starters. As a team, the Wildcats play a 3-3 stack, mixingup coverages under Defensive Coordinator Ryan Franzinger ’02. TheWildcats will look to stop St. Xavier’s run game without bringing aseventh man into the box and limiting pass coverage vs. the spread.NO FLY ZONE: The Wildcats’ secondary has heated up in recentweeks, shutting down the passing games of Euclid, Elder, and Moeller.The Wildcats allow just 5.3 yards per pass and 117.8 passing yards pergame to opponents.KICKING CANCER, ONE POINT AT A TIME: The Wildcats specialteams unit has dedicated the 2018 season to raising money for pediatric cancer research. Teaming up with Kick-It for Cancer, the WildcatsFun Facts:have tallied 50 points and raised 3,600 for the cause thus far this The two twams have played in the season.

ABOUT ST. XAVIER .Learning about the Bombers .2018 ScheduleIN NEED OF A W: The 2018 Bombers find themselves in asituation similar to the 2016 season – with a 4-4 recordentering the annual showdown vs. Saint Ignatius. In 2016, St.Xavier lost to Saint Ignatius but defeated Louisville St.Xavier to clinch a playoff spot. The Bombers won fivestraight playoff games to win the state title.8/24 vs. Lakota WestPaul Brown StadiumW, 34-08/31vs. ColerainBallaban FieldL, 12-14FAMILIAR FACE: The head coach of the Bombers and thehead coach of the Wildcats know each other well. CoachSteve Specht and Coach Chuck Kyle are good friends andlegendary competitors on the field. Since 2004, whenSpecht took over as St. Xavier’s coach, the Bombers have a9-6 record vs. Saint Ignatius.9/7vs. Walnut HillsBallaban FieldW, 41-79/14vs. Cathedral (IN)University ofIndianapolisL, 14-20OT9/21vs. MoellerBallaban FieldL, 14-19SPREAD IT OUT: St. Xavier employs a spread offense, lining up universally in shotgun with 4-5 wide receivers. TheBombers’ offense can balance the run and pass well, usingrun-pass options, jet sweeps, and zone reads to keepdefenses guessing.THE GUNSLINGER: Quarterback Wyatt Hudepohl leads theSt. Xavier offense. The 6’3, 197-pound signalcaller has 1,397yards, 13 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions through the airand 113 yards and 2 touchdowns on the ground. Hudepohlhas a strong arm and is capable of finding running room onquarterback draws and RPO’s.PLAYMAKERS TO WATCH: St. Xavier has dangerous optionson offense. Chief among them is Jared Kreimer. The 6’0,177-pound playmaker can line up at wideout or quarterback,often runs jet sweeps, and serves as the punter. He leads theteam with 31 receptions for 486 yards and 4 touchdowns.Chris Payne is the squad’s top rusher (367 rushing yards, 5TDs). Tight end Marshall Lang (294 yards and 2 TDs) andwideout Liam Clifford (193 yards, 4 TDs) are others to watch.DEFENSIVE SCHEMING: Much like the Bombers utilize a 3-3stack on defense. The approach makes it difficult for opponents, as the QB can’t read the defense until after the playstarts. The Bombers like to blitz and play man-free coverage.As a team, the Bombers have 3 defensive TDs this season.9/28 @ElderThe PitL, 26-5110/5W, 42-7vs. La SalleNippert Stadium10/12 vs. ClarksonFootball NorthBallaban FieldW, 38-1910/20 vs. Saint IgnatiusBallaban Field2 p.m.10/26 vs. Louisville St.XavierBallaban Field7 p.m.DEFENDERS TO WATCH: St. Xavier’s linebackers are thebackbone of the defense, as Nathan Arthur and ThomasKiessling lead the defense in tackles. Tucker Hundley is abeast in the secondary, with 2 interceptions and 27 solotackles. Keep an eye on DBs Trevor Potts and B.J. Ferguson.SPECIAL BATTLE: The Bombers have strong special teams.Kreimer is a rugby-style punter who has successfully fakedpunts this year. Kicker Joe Sullivan has only notched onefield goal but is a perfect 15-of-15 on extra points.42018 Saint Ignatius Football Game Notes

The junior is areliable option for QBPatrick Delahunty,offering a safety valve.Lang is also a solidblocker on run plays,helping to pave rushinglanes for Bo Floyd andJack Welcsh. Look forLang to make animpact vs. St. Xavier.DL AIDAN WELLS ’19The Wildcats’ two-waystar caught his firstcareer touchdown passvs. Moeller and notcheda tackle. As the season has evolved, AidanWells has developedinto an important playmaker and leader forthe Wildcats as a tightend and a defensiveend. Wells will continueto play a crucial role vs.St. Xavier in attackingthe ballcarrier and increating open lanes forthe Wildcats’ rushers.5
