Tigers running back Mylen Lenix scored the only touchdown of the game when he bolted in from six yards out. A blocked punt by Chase Bond in the second quarter set up the scoring opportunity.

St. Edward (Lakewood) wrestled the Division I state title from Springfield following a 31-21 triumph to take over the No. 2 spot ahead of Hoban who sits No. 3 at season's end. St. Edward running back Brandon White ran for 235 yards and three touchdowns in the state title game.
