Top-ranked Archbishop Stepinac’s drive for a Catholic High School Football League three-peat came to an end at the hands of Cardinal Hayes, which beat the Crusaders 25-7 for the AAA title.
Less than a minute into the game, Stepinac lead 7-0, but that was it as Hayes scored 25 unanswered points.

Hayes, which won its second CHSFL title in four years, improves to 7-4, while Stepinac finishes 8-2. Next week, Hayes will play Canisius for the Catholic state championship.
2:33 2Q, Henry Belin threads the needle on play action, hits Kuno Mendez for the 34-yard score. 2 pt conversion fails, but Hayes goes up 13-7. @CardinalHayes @COACH_ONEIL @HayesCardinal @lohudinsider pic.twitter.com/zygR9zbkd6
