Dons remain undefeated
Cathedral Catholic High School’s varsity football team defeated Centennial High School, its third opponent of the season who previously ranked sixth in the nation. Friday night’s game was not decided until CCHS quarterback DJ Ralph ‘20 scored a one-yard touchdown with less than a minute left in the fourth quarter. A crowd of more than 1000 people supported the team until the last second of the game when CCHS took the clutch victory with a final score of 44-41. The Dons rankings advanced to third in the state and ninth in the nation.
