OK, but did Bene lose to Ignatius 53-6 or 43-6?
I think 43-6 is correct. As you know Auggie the Bengals lit Mooney up 49-25 in week 7 that year. The Cardinals did not lose again winning 8 in a row to win the D4 championship. That includes a 14-10 win over Watterson in week 10 at YSU.
Let's see if we can get those 3 questions answered.
1) Assuming Benedictine lost 43-6 we have established that DSJ lost by 42 to MSML in 2008.
Another state champ lost by 42. This team was 9-0 going into the week 10 match, lost by 42, then ran the table winning the title. Irish_buffalo might know this.
2) The champ that gave up the most points in a loss played the team they lost to again in the playoffs and won by 24, a 60-point swing.
3) Mooney played this team that beat the champ earlier in the season and handled them easily so I was totally shocked when I saw the score of this game. The team in question beat the D1 champ.
