For the second year in a row, Mentor, ranked No. 109 in the High School Football America national rankings, is celebrating a season-opening win over St. Edward, ranked No. 16 in the High School Football America 100.

Thursday night, led by junior quarterback Ian Kipp, Mentor came-from-behind to beat the defending Division I state champs 29-28 on the Eagles’ home turf. Last year, Mentor beat St. Ed 49-24 in the season opener, but then the Eagles got revenge in the state quarterfinals with a 24-14 win on the way to their state championship.
