St. Vincent St. Marys capped off a perfect 10-0 record on Thursday with yet another runaway victory, this time a 33 point victory over Ursuline. Parris Campbell saw a ton of action and didn't disappoint. From a rushign standpoint, Campbell toted the rock 12 times for 130 yards and two touchdowns. The big highlight when Campbell started the second half by scampering 80 yards for a score. On defense, Dante Booker was, like most weeks, the Fighting Irish's leading tackler, with six and two of them coming behind the line of scrimmage.

Indianapolis Cathedral punched their ticket to the third round of the IHSAA Football State Tournament by outlasting Zionsville 35-21. Terry McLaurin wasn't super busy has he received seven carries for 42 yards and caught three passes for 38 yards.
