MaxPreps: No. 14 in the country St. Xavier steamrolls Cincinnati rival LaSalle
The much-anticipated Cincinnati rivalry game between upstart La Salle and the nation's No. 14 team St. Xavier didn't turn out to be much of a game at all.
St. Xavier, riding 194 yards passing and four touchdowns from Wisconsin commit Chase Wolf, led 28-0 at the end of the first quarter and 42-7 at halftime.
There was no scoring in a lackluster second half as the Bombers (7-0) breezed to a 42-7 home victory.
Wolf fired two touchdown passes to Andrew Wittrock and one each to Cam Specht and Jared Kreimer, and Kellen Newman scored on runs of 18 and 1 yards St. Xavier piled up 306 yards, almost entirely in the first half.
LaSalle (5-2) got a 21-yard rushing touchdown from Griffin Merritt with 4:37 left in the half to cut the deficit 35-7.
But after Newman's second touchdown run just before halftime, this one was completely done.
LaSalle, which next week travels to LeBron James' alma mater St. Vincent-St. Mary (Akron), finished with just 181 yards.
St. Xavier has now outscored opponents 230-65
