Olentangy Liberty is a first-time Ohio high school football champ after beating Archbishop Moeller for the Ohio Division I title in a battle of nationally-ranked teams. The Patriots, ranked No. 76 in the latest High School Football America 300, powered by NFL Play Football, beat Moeller, ranked No. 41 in the nation, 28-14 at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Ohio.
Liberty senior quarterback Andrew Leonard out-dueled Moeller’s Matt Matt Ponatoski, who was named Ohio’s Mr. Football on Thursday. Leonard threw for 260-yards and three touchdowns in the victory.
Moeller was looking for its 10th overall Ohio high school football championship, but first since 2013.
