Trinity survived a road trip to Lucas Oil Stadium to face Cathedral (Indianapolis) last week. A nationally televised 24-16 triumph extended the No. 8 Shamrocks' winning streak to 30 games, which is tied for the longest among teams ranked in this week's MaxPreps Xcellent 25 rankings. Quarterback
Travis Wright threw for more than 300 yards and two touchdowns against Cathedral. The senior has 85 touchdown passes since 2010.
See the Trinity vs. St. Xavier series history in the MaxPreps record book St. Xavier wants to snap a four-game losing streak to its archrival in this game played annually before upwards of 30,000 fans at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. Another loss would mean the Tigers' slim 36-35-2 lead in the all-time the series would be gone. Junior
Charles Walker had more than 100 yards rushing last week as St. X improved to 4-2 for the season with a 27-13 win over two-time defending Class 3A champion Central (Louisville).
