We appreciate your continued work to report about the successes of our athletics program. I hope that this guide will help to make following Saint Ignatius football a more enjoyable experience for you. This completion of this media guide would not have been capable without the help of numerous people. One main contributor was Ed Daugherty, from whom I definitely learned a lot. His expertise in formatting was a phenomenal help in putting this guide together. Without him contributing, this guide would not be what it is. I certainly have to thank former president of the Broadcasting Club, Mike Watts, because his advice has not only made this media guide great, but also has helped me to become a better person. Having a friend and mentor like him is something that I will always be grateful for. Eddie Dwyer’s articles help to do justice to the 2010 season. It tells the story of more than just the game. It tells the story of the team – its growth growth, its failures failures, and its many successes. It is truly remarkable to have a professional writer in our athletic department, and his passion for reporting about our athletes is unparalleled.

As such, the school challenges its students to become involved in service activities in the school community On September 6, 1886, Bishop Richard Gilmour and Fr. Michael Zoeller, S.J. saw the realization of their dream of a Jesuit boys school in Cleveland. Located on the near west side of Cleveland, Saint Ignatius College was opened with an initial enrollment of 75 students. Saint Ignatius College was a 6-year school in the European tradition. Saint Ignatius' largest student organization (composed of only juniors and seniors) is the St. Joseph of Arimathea Pallbearer Society (an organization that provides pallbearers to those without family or friend to carry them ot their final resting place). The Labre Ministry sends students out to give food to the homeless, but also to spend time with the homeless in our commuity. Saint Ignatius was the first to sanction a Sophmore Service Program in the school's curriculum. The Arrupe House is open almost every day of the week with programs like the Homework Club, where Saint Ignatius students sepnd two hours with the children of the Ohio City neighborhood. pp This list is onlyy a few of the manyy service opportunites offered to the students of Saint Ignatius THE MEANING OF 'A.M.D.G.' Ad maiorem Dei gloriam For the Greater Glory of God BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE In 2008-2009, Saint Ignatius was named a 'Blue Ribbon School of Excellence" byt the United States Department of Education. Saint Ignatius has also won the award in 1984-1985. While many schools chose to leave the city over the years, Saint Ignatius has remained at its original location in the Ohio City neighborhood of Cleveland. In 1924, Saint Ignatius College was split into a Jesuit high school and a Jesuit university. Saint Ignatius High School remained at the corner of West 30th street and Lorain while John Carroll University moved to University Heights. The school's athletic teams began to thrive following the Great Depression. Many great Ignatius football and basketball teams played under legendary coach John Wirtz in the 1950's and 1960's. Off the athletic fields, Saint Ignatius was nationally recognized as a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence and local service activities helped to stabalize the Ohio City neighborhood. By receiving the award in 2009, Saint Ignatius was the only Catholic high school and one of only two private high schools in the country to be honed by the Department of Education. Only 314 schools were given the distinction of being a "Blue Ribbon School" in 2008-2009. Of the 314, only 19 were in the state of Ohio and only 6 were in Northeastern Ohio. The Blue Ribbon award is judged by a series of national standardized tests, including the PSAT, SAT, and ACT, plus the Ohio Graduation Test. Those four letters are packed with meaning and inspiration. It's an abbreviation of the Latin phrase Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam , which means “For the greater glory of God.” Having twice been named a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence, earning numerous championships on the playing fields and receiving local and national acclaim for the school's service programs, Saint Ignatius High School celebrates 125 years of excellence in Cleveland. ALMA MATER The phrase serves as the motto for the Society of Jesus, the order of priests that founded and still run Saint Ignatius High School. Our famed Alma Mater graces Every shrine within our hearts St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, is credited with coining the phrase now represented with A.M.D.G. throughout the West 30th Street campus—and interwoven in the fabric of every Saint Ignatius student and athlete. With her unforgotten faces And the faith that she imparts Years in passing cannot sever Ties of new days from the old. A.M.D.G. We're Ignatius men forever As we hail the blue and gold 4 2011 Saint Ignatius Wildcats Football 125 Years of Saint Ignatius 125 YEARS OF SAINT IGNATIUS 100 YEARS OF FOOTBALL HISTORY 1886 St Ignatius High School opens its doors in Ohio City.

We have a nice core of quarterbacks, and for our system that's important, Head Coach Chuck Kyle '69 said "It's no secret we're rather quarterback-oriented on offense." The quarterback area is very solid this year, Coach Kyle continued. "We were inexperienced last year and worked up into it as best as we could. But this year, we have Eric Williams [and] Matt Hoyer did it last year as a starter for nine games and we have Mike LaManna, who is now a junior and improved nicely last year, and Stephen Alexander. Williams (6-foot-3, 195 pounds) moved to Cleveland from Portland, Oregon last winter, where he was the starting quarterback for Jesuit High School as a junior. He helped lead Jesuit to the state semifinals by passing for 1,405 yards and 13 touchdowns. “Eric is an accurate passer and he can run the football,” said Coach Kyle of the young man. “Eric has shown in practices and in scrimmages that he’s a threat, both running and throwing. And in 21st century football, that’s a Hoyer is a 6-4 senior who threw for 1,600 yards in 2010. and LaManna is a lefty who did a solid job as the starting quarterback on the Wildcats' undefeated junior varsity team last fall. Saint Ignatius' receivers are led by 6-5, 240pound senior tight end Blake Thomas. A young man who is staying loyal to his commitment to The Ohio State University and Buckeyes head coach Luke Fickell, Thomas emerged on the varsity scene as a sophomore. He is not only a big target with exceptional hands, but a knowledgeable tight end that can get vertical down field and create space for the other Seniors Jake Mooney and Tim McCoy, will lead the wideouts. "You lose games when you drop footballs," said Coach Kyle. "We want to keep moving the chains and they do a good job of that." Rocky Zingale is a junior wide receiver who will contribute significantly to the passing game and senior wideout Clay Bishop, who can handle all of the wide receiver positions and, as Kyle emphasized, is very handy and reliable. Saint Ignatius, which is coming off its first sub-.500 season since 1982, graduated heavily along the offensive line. Coach Kyle and Wildcats offensive line coaches Adam Rini '99 and Rory Hennessey Jr. '01 have been putting in more than their share of extra hours mixing and matching up front. Providing the senior leadership on the O-Line will be center and captain Zach Lozar (6-2, 260) and left tackle Trevor Herak (6-5, 250). Left guard Clayton Cassidy (6-2, 245) is another senior who had a great offseason and is bigger, stronger and has gained more confidence. Juniors Steve Franko (tackle) and Mike Cray (guard) have the ability to play on both sides of the ball and Coach Kyle said they are catching up nicely along the right side of the offensive line. Among the offensive linemen rotating in are seniors Anthony Latina (6-3, 273) and Dennison Crowell and promising sophomore Jimmy Byrne (6-4, 260). Since the emergence of All-American quarterback Joe Pickens in 1988, the Wildcats have put a huge emphasis on the passing game. However, Coach Kyle's success has also been built on a strong and reliable ground game. Danny averaged over 5 yards per carry last season, said Kyle of returning senior tailback Dan Grace, one of the captains this fall. "Danny has very good vision. He sees those seams, is a very good cut-back runner and has good speed." The hard-nosed and versatile Grace will be complemented by one of the top juniors in Northeast Ohio - running back/safety Tim McVey. McVey is a strong kid with a great burst of speed. Other names to remember in the Wildcats' backfield are juniors Mike Gibbons (60, 200) and Daniel Way. Mike is a kid who personifies toughness and blends that trait with field vision, balance and second- and third-efforts. Saint Ignatius was very young on defense last season and that is expected to pay huge dividends this year. "Along with the experience, you add the strength and speed in becoming veterans," said Coach Kyle. Along the defensive front, the Wildcats return senior end Mike Ryan (6-3, 235), senior tackle Ed Cleveland (6-1, 250) and senior nose Brendan Holland (6-0, 240). Junior Kevin Kavalec (6-3, 230) is, in Kyle's words, a very good defensive endd andd Kevin K i also l gives i the th Wildcats Wild t exceptional ti l ddepth th att titight ht end. d Seniors Rustom Khouri, James Sheehan and Kevin Ryan head up a tough and savvy group of linebackers. Supporting those three will be junior LBs Brett Bendokaitis and Nick Chapek. The secondary will be led by the gifted and humble Svetina (6-2, 220), who was in on 163 tackles during his All-Ohio season, including a remarkable 95 solos. "Obviously, we're even expecting more from him," said Coach Kyle of Svetina. "And I think we can. Mike's capable of stepping it up a little more." Senior free safety Chad Aerni (5-11, 190) returns as the hard-nosed quarterback of the secondary. Senior corner Adam North has a nose for the ball and keen reaction skills, and juniors Conor Hennessey and Tom Fanning are competing for the other corner back spot. Hennessey has also stood out as a receiver during camp. Senior Ben Feys and junior Zach Baker bring strength and athleticism to the secondary, senior Dan Jones is back from a knee injury and McVey can also play as a deep safety, move up near the line of scrimmage and, of course, create havoc on special teams. Saint Ignatius' kicking game is in great shape, as senior Tim Shenk returns as one of the top place kickers in Ohio. Tim is nicknamed "First-and-80" by many of his teammates for the ability he has to send kickoffs in or out of the end zone. Shenk can be called on to punt, but the main duty will fall with Senior outside linebacker James Sheehan. After a season in which the Wildcats made three-hour trips for some of their games, the schedule is more fan-friendly this year. Starting with the Aug. 27 opener against Detroit Cody High School, Saint Ignatius has six home games five at Byers Field and one at John Carroll University's Don Shula Stadium. 7 TIES OF DAYS NEW & OLD 125 YEARS OF BLUE & GOLD Eddie Dwyer's 125 Most Memorable Sports Moments In honor of Saint Ignatius’ 125th Anniversary, Eddie Dwyer’s Corner presents its 125 Memorable Moments in Wildcats Athletic These are moments Eddie either covered or reported on during his decades at The Plain Dealer, observed while growing up in the 50s and 60s near legendary West Tech Field or incased in his memory as a kid while reading The Plain Dealer and The Cleveland Press from cover to cover.

HISTORY OF THE SAINT IGNATIUS BROADCASTING NETWORK ABOUT THE STUDENT SPORTS INFORMATION DEPARTMENT The Saint Ignatius Broadcasting Network is the most extensive student run sports broadcasting network in Ohio. Covering over 100 games last season, the club began five years ago under Brendan Gulick '09. One year in, the SIBN had a sponsor and a moderator. National City signed as the first sponsor of Wildcats radio, and Jeff McCormick '83 came aboard as moderator. The Saint Ignatius Sports Information Department is a group of students that keep fans and the media informed. The SSID program allows students to create material for the Saint Ignatius Athletic website, report on games, work with the media both on game-day and for off the field requests, and create media guides for the media and fan use. The 2008-2009 season saw the growth of the SIBN. During the 2009 football season, varsity soccer and hockey were added to broadcast schedule. With online video sharing partner, EZStream, the club began to videocast hockey, basketball, volleyball, and baseball games. The group covered 9 football games in 2010 and broadcasted over 100 games in six other sports. This year's group of broadcasters include Lewis Backus ' 12, Greg Ziton '13 and John Fanta ' 13 The SSID began making media guides in 2009 with the NHSSPA awarding a Gold Medal to the Saint Ignatius Football Media Guides in 2009 and 2010. In the last three years, the program has continued to bring all the most important information to those following the Wildcats. The SSID is responsible for the Athletic Department website content and produces game programs for most Saint Ignatius home events.

Wasmer Field, dedicated on October 5, 1968, marks the first on-campus home of the John Carroll University Blue Streaks. In 2003, the University officially re-dedicated the Athletic Complex and the 5,416-seat state-of-the-art facility during the tradional Homecoming Weekend festivities. The seating bowl at Byers Field stretches from endzone to endzone on both sides of the field and capacity is just over 11,000 fans, and sell-out or standing-room-only crowds are routine at the facility. Byers Field features two loges featuring 32 seats each plus standing room. Concession stands can be found under the East bleachers and adjacent to the West bleachers. A media room is found beneath the west bleachers opposite the press box, and both home and visitors locker rooms are beneath the home stands. Don Shula Stadium at Wasmer Field was opened on September 27, 2003 and celebrates the accomplishments of Blue Streak alum Don Shula, the former head coach for the Miami Dolphins and the winningest coach in the NFL. The renovation included new lockerrooms, five coaches offices, a weight room, a training room, and equipment and storage areas. The main concourse of the new stadium houses the Shula Memorabilia Room, as well as a fully-functioning concession stand, with the upper levels sporting a new press box and coaches booths. Recently a large video board, one of the largest in Ohio high school sports, was added beyond the North end zone. The press box at Byers Field, renovated over the previous two years, is large enough to seat over 30 journalists and broadcasters. In 2010, the stadium was named after recently retired Parma School District employee, Bob Boulton. Boulton spent 44 years working as a coach, principal, and superintendent of Athletics, Health and Physical Education for the Parma City School District. Boulton, a 1957 graduate of Parma Senior High School, helped the fundraising efforts to turn Byers Field into one of the premier venues in Northeast Ohio (including new turf, a new scoreboard, a new lighting and sound system, and new restrooms.)

The stadium has an official seating capacity is 1,800 but the overall capacity expands to 2,500 when standing room and open areas around the field are calculated. CPEC is the second largest stadium in the City of Erie. The renovations included the installation of state of the art FieldTurf as the playing surface, a rubberized, 8-lane track, and a new scoreboard with a 15-square foot video board within it. In 2007, Cathedral Prep spent nearly $9 million dollars to purchase the site of the former Gunite/EMI foundry (which closed in June 2001). Prep bought 11 acres near Cherry and West 12th Street for the overall site of the new Event Center and Athletic Complex. On March 14, 2006, The Osborne family made the announcement that they had donated more than $1 million to the capital improvement campaign for the stadium. The Lake Catholic Cougars also announced the private school in Mentor would contribute monies to the renovations, an amount in excess of $300,000. Mentor and Lake Catholic share the facility, now commonly called "The JTO" as their home fields Prior to the inaugural game on September 10, 2010, the football stadium was dedicated to Monsignor Dollinger. Dollinger passed away in March of 2010. The Ramblers defeated the Central Tech Falcons 55-9 in the inagurual game The Cardinals are 22-3 at home since the renovations were completed prior to the 2006 season, but one of those loses was to the Wildcats, a 47-7 loss to St Ignatius in 2009.

The stadium is separated from the main portion of the campus by the five-line main road, St Francis Drive. Players dress on campus, then walk across the street to get to the field. 66-11 Lakewood Stadium, in it's current location, was built during the 1930's while Franklin D Roosevelt was in the White House. The stadium is nestled in the Lakewood neighborhood, surrounded by century homes and full-growth trees, at the corner of Bunts Road and Madison Avenue. Known as the 'Madhouse on Madison', Lakewood Stadium has been the home to St Edward athletics since the late 1980's, but today is only the home for the varsity football Eagles. The 'old school' feel of St Francis Field, built during the 1950's, is enhanced during halftime, as no lockerrooms are available on the east side of St Francis Drive. Teams spend the intermission huddled in their respective endzones. The stadium was converted from a grass field to a synthetic turf surface following the fall season of 1987. The 'Astro-turf' type carpet was in place for 20 years, and the stadium had the more modern Field Turf installed prior to the 2007 season. In 1999, more than 16 acres of land was purchased near the current football stadium for future capital improvements to the athletic field, including the football stadium. Lakewood Stadium has been the setting for many memorable St Ignatius football games, including the dramatic 35-34, triple overtime victory, against St Edward in October of 1993. In 2009, a new bleachers were installed on the vistor side of the field. The latest renovations to the St Francis Field occurred this year as the home grandstand was demolished and all seating, as well as the pressbox, was moved to the west of the Stadium The Wildcats called Lakewood Stadium home from 1988 until 2000, and played their final game as a 'home' team at Lakewood Stadium in 2004 against Washington DC Friendship-Edison 11 2011 Saint Ignatius Wildcats Football Chuck Kyle - Head Coach The Kyle File Name Hometown High School College Degree Years at St Ignatius Chuck Kyle '69 ‐ HEAD COACH Charles Michael 'Chico' Kyle Hammond, IN Saint Ignatius - 1969 John Carroll Univ - 1973 During the past three decades, Saint Ignatius High School has fielded one of the most successful football programs in the county.

He has been a part of more than 400 wins and played or coached in 10 City Championship games and 11 State Title games As a student, football player, assistant coach and now head coach, Saint Ignatius has always been the right place for Kyle; Kyle has often said the opportunity to learn always exists During his varsity playing career at Saint Ignatius, the Wildcats compiled a 18-1-1 record and appeared in two Charity Games/ City Championship Games, winning the 1967 game 21-0 over Collinwood. Kyle also scored a TD in the 1968 tie game against Cleveland JFK After graduating in 1969, Kyle attended Xavier University in Cincinnati, but when the Jesuit school discontinued the football program following his freshman year, Kyle transferred to John Carroll University, where he became a 3-year starter for the Blue Streaks Following graduation from JCU, Kyle accepted a teaching position with his alma mater.

The Restifo offense has relied on strong-armed, pocket passers, but has adapted to meet the talents of more mobile quarterbacks. His offense has produced 11 different 2,000 yard passing seasons and 11 different 1,000 yard rushers. To say that Dan Corrigan '82 KNOWS the Chuck Kyle system is an understatement. Corrigan played for Kyle as a student at Saint Ignatius and now has served as an assistant under Kyle for almost 3 decades; the last 10 as the Defensive Coordinator. Corrigan and the Wildcats use the 3-3-5 formation for the base package, but can shift and have shown a more traditional 4-3 or 4-4 defensive alignment in certain situations to maximize the blitzes that Corrigan is known for. Since his arrival at St Ignatius in 1983, the Wildcats offense has averaged over 29 points per game for 28 seasons. Restifo has guided an offense that has produced 16 All Ohio selections at the quarterback position and four of those players have made it to the NFL - Scott Mutryn '94, Dave Ragone '98, Tom Arth '99, and Brian Hoyer '04. In 2008, Corrigan was awarded the Assistant Coach of the Year award from the Greater Cleveland Football Coaches Association. That year, the Wildcats surrendered just 8.4 points per game, shutout 4 opponents and held another 5 to under 10 points. It was the best defensive showing by the Wildcats since 1995. As an education, Restifo has taught Spanish for nearly 40 years. Restifo has been married for more than 20 years to his wife, Susan. They have one daughter, Grace, who will be a senior at Notre Dame Cathedral Latin this year. As a player, Corrigan was part of the teams that transitioned from the Senate League to Independent status.

Bryan Massinen '99 enters his 10th season of coaching both at the high school and collegiant levels; and will serve as the defensive backs coach for Chuck Kyle's staff this season. Franzinger led the JV Wildcats to a perfect 8-0 record in 2010. Massinen's coaching ability has led to some trememdous accomplishments from his players - 3 of his college players have earned All-OAC honors, and 19 of his high school players have earned AllDistrict honors. In 2008, his defensive secondary allowed just 5 passing touchdowns in 15 games as the Wildcats captured their 10th state championship. Franzinger played both ways for Chuck Kyle and Wildcats and was a three year letter winner in football as a running back and linebacker. He scored 6 touchdowns in the 2001 playoffs, including a three TD game against Warren Harding and had a fumble recovery for a TD against Massillon in the state semi final game that year.

Saint Ignatius Wildcats 21 Saint Ignatius Wildcats Mentor Lake Catholic Cougars 28 Bedford Bearcats Cleveland Browns Stadium, Cleveland, Ohio 36 17 Bearcat Stadium, Bedford, Ohio Recap courtesy of Eddie Dwyer, www.ignatius.edu Recap courtesy of Eddie Dwyer, www.ignatius.edu CLEVELAND, OHIO - Standing just a few yards away from one of the tunnel entrances to Cleveland Browns Stadium, Saint Ignatius' veteran football coach Chuck Kyle '69 didn't hesitate for a second when asked to evaluate the performance by Lake Catholic's strong and gifted senior tailback/linebacker Richie Sanders. BEDORD, OHIO - Saint Ignatius' outstanding junior safety Mike Svetina will be the first to tell you that the Wildcats' defense had plenty of work to do after the disappointing opening-night loss to Lake Catholic. “He's good, there is no doubt about it,” Coach Kyle said. “He's very good. We saw that in the videos. He has great feet, great vision and speed. He's a great weapon.” That extra time on the practice field this week came to the fore on Friday night, as Saint Ignatius' firstteam units, behind what their coaching staff described as a group effort, kept the Bedford Bearcats in check and the 'Cats went on to a 36-17 victory in atmosphere-rich Bearcat Stadium. And great is no exaggeration, as Sanders had a night most high school players can only dream about in leading the Cougars to a 28-21 victory over Saint Ignatius in the second game of Saturday's Home Team Marketing/Browns Charity Game doubleheader. “You have to give all of the credit in the world to the front six, that's where it starts,” said Svetina of Saint Ignatius' defensive front. "This feels real good, coming out and making a statement on defense. It is a good building block for the rest of the year. Winning the battle of field position by keeping the Bearcats pinned deep in their territory, the Wildcats rolled up 271 of their 324 total yards in the first half. Lake Catholic, with the 5-foot-10, 180-pound Sanders rushing for 239 yards on 32 carries and scoring three touchdowns, including a pivotal interception return of 56 yards, won for the seventh time in its 16 encounters with the Wildcats. It was the first meeting between the perennial powers since 1997, when Saint Ignatius prevailed in Lakewood Stadium, 52-14. Junior Tim Shenk got the offense started with an impressive 42-yard field goal and Saint Ignatius, on the strength of a perfectly executed touchdown off a 35-yard screen pass from junior quarterback Matt Hoyer to junior tailback Dan Grace, took a 10-0 lead into the second quarter. Taking the opening kickoff, the Wildcats started at their 17-yard line and, behind the second of two clutch receptions by junior tight end Blake Thomas, moved to a first down at their 41. On the next play, junior quarterback Matt Hoyer, who was making his varsity debut, found senior wide receiver David Joseph open in the seam down the right sideline. never sideline The multitalented Joseph looked the ball into his hands and never broke stride as he completed the 59-yard touchdown. Junior Tim Shenk kicked the extra point and Saint Ignatius led, 7-0, with 8 minutes, 24 seconds remaining in the first quarter. It was more of the same in the second quarter as the Wildcats capped a 10-play, 73-yard drive with a 7yard TD strike from Hoyer to gifted senior wideout David Joseph and Shenk's second extra point. In racking up his third touchdown of the young season season, Joseph made a running catch in the left corner of the end zone and, knowing where he was on the field, alertly dragged his feet in bounds. The Hoyer to Joseph six-pointer was set up by a 41-yard pass from Hoyer to junior tight end Blake Thomas, which came off a third-and-10 from midfield. With Sanders doing most of the damage with his Barry Sanders-like frame, the Cougars answered with an impressive drive of their own. It was a march that featured an exceptional one-handed diving catch in the end zone by senior running back/defensive back Tommy Michals for an 8-yard touchdown. Saint Ignatius' first-team defense, rising to the occasion all night, set up the next score on an interception by junior corner back Dan Jones off a tipped pass by junior linebacker James Sheehan. Two huge turning points took place on the next series. First it was Wildcats All-Ohio senior tailback Bobby Grebenc (1,205 yards rushing and 18 touchdowns in 2009) being helped from the field after tweaking an ankle with 10:32 left in the first half. Following a key reception by senior wide receiver Evan Latsko, sophomore tailback/safety Tim McVey burst through a hole over the right side and went 14 yards into the end zone. Shenk's extra-point kick was high and true, and the Wildcats led, 24-0, with 1 minute, 12 seconds remaining in the first half. Then Sanders struck again with his Pick 6 and, after senior Kresimir Ivkovic kicked his second extra point, Lake Catholic led, 14-7, with 8:39 to go in the second quarter. The scored stayed that way entering halftime. Saint Ignatius left no doubt in the third quarter, scoring on a safety, a 22-yard field goal by Shenk and a 3yard, second- and third-effort touchdown run by McVey that saw his entire offensive line escort him into the end zone. It was McVey's third TD of the season. The Hoyer-to-Joseph combination clicked again in the second half, this time a 38-yard touchdown strike down the right sideline that topped an 80-yard drive and again highlighted the strong arm of Hoyer and the soft hands and concentration of Joseph. Shenk was high and true on his second extra point and the score was tied with 7:24 remaining in the third quarter. For the night, McVey rushed for 72 yards on eight carries and Grace carried the pigskin 17 times for 64 yards. Hoyer completed 11 of 20 passes for 171 yards and was selected as the "Ganley Man Star of the Game" by Time Warner Cable of Northeast Ohio. “Bedford came out with no-back, quads, all sorts of different wild formations,” Coach Chuck Kyle said, just before he turned his attention to Saturday's wedding of his daughter Maureen. “The kids adjusted, stopped them, we got the ball, had a little drive and kicked a field goal. You know, just get points, keep going, stay positive. And then the defense had time to do a couple of other adjustments, and I think that was about it." Sanders would score two more second half touchdowns, including a 62-yard run. But behind the passing of Hoyer, the Wildcats covered 80 yards again and cut the deficit to 28-21 on a nifty 13-yard catch and cutback run for a touchdown by sophomore running back/safety Tim McVey. However, the Wildcats woud get no closer. 38 2011 Saint Ignatius Wildcats Football 2010 Game - By - Game Results Game 3 ‐ September 10 ‐ Lancaster Saint Ignatius Wildcats Lancaster Golden Gales Game 4 ‐ September 18 ‐ Centerville 28 Saint Ignatius Wildcats 21 Centerville Elks Fulton Field - Lancaster, Ohio 7 31 Centerville Stadium - Centerville, Ohio Recap courtesy of Eddie Dwyer, www.ignatius.edu Recap courtesy of Eddie Dwyer, www.ignatius.edu LANCASTER, OHIO – Standing almost as tall as the ceiling in the visitors' locker room, Saint Ignatius' gritty, gifted and good-natured offensive tackle Mason Halter patted the left side of his chest. CENTERVILLE, OHIO – With 5 minutes and 25 seconds remaining to be played, some of Centerville's fans began yelling: “Overrated, overrated!” “We went to it, we went right here,” said the 6-foot-7, 260-pound senior after he and his O-Line teammates showed the way during a dramatic and efficient game-winning 70-yard drive on Friday night. “It's all about the heart." That over-used, hay-is-in-the-barn chant was a bit off center on Saturday night, especially when you consider it came while Saint Ignatius junior quarterback Matt Hoyer was being attended to on the field after a late hit and that the Elks entered the game ranked 11 spots higher than the Wildcats in the weekly Associated Press Division I state football poll. Providing the seams for All-Ohio senior tailback Bobby Grebenc and giving junior quarterback Matt Hoyer the time to put his powerful right arm on display, Saint Ignatius' young men up front were near flawless during an 11-play march that resulted in a 28-21 victory. If that portion of Centerville's faithful wanted to get a point across to the poll voters, it could have waited until Hoyer was helped from the field and then the cheer should have been: “We're underrated, underrated!” The Elks, who had the appearance of a team much stronger than its 10th-place state ranking would indicate, controlled the better part of 48 minutes and went on to wear down the Wildcats, 31-7, in atmosphere-rich Centerville Stadium. Grebenc, who sat out last week's victory at Bedford with a sprained ankle he suffered in the first half of the opening-night game against Lake Catholic, busted through a comfortable hole over the right side for a 3yard touchdown with 45.8 seconds remaining to be played. It was Grebenc's third touchdown on the night, as he finished with 88 yards on 21 carries against a Golden Gales defense that prides itself on stopping the run. In improving to 4-0, Centerville, led by multi-skilled senior quarterback Jon Overstreet, amassed 484 rushing yards. The 5-foot-10, 165-pound Overstreet accounted for 283 of those yards while operating behind one of the strongest lines Montgomery County, or any county in Ohio for that matter, has to offer. “The last hole was huge, it was like 15 yards wide,” said Grebenc. In what was the marquee game under Fairfield County's Friday night lights, Lancaster wasted little time in unleashing its highly touted misdirection offense. “We knew they were going to run the football and we've had trouble with that – people just pounding away at us,” said Saint Ignatius head coach Chuck Kyle '69, after the 'Cats slipped to 2-2. “First of all, the first quarter we just played awful awful, I mean it was 14 14-0. We fought back to 14 14-7, we're running the football and throwing for some things. But the turnovers, that was ridiculous!” Taking the opening kickoff, the Golden Gales (2-1) put together an 80-yard drive that ate up more than six minutes and was highlighted by a 32-yard touchdown gallop by versatile senior wing back Connor Smith. After a fumble recovery by junior middle linebacker Rustom Khouri thwarted the Elks' first drive, Centerville, after recovering its own fumble, struck with a 31-yard touchdown pass from Overstreet to senior running back Tristin Boykin. Senior Chris Kuzma kicked the extra point and the Elks led, 7-0, with 8:01 left in the opening quarter. The TD strike to a wide open Boykin highlighted an 84-yard drive. Saint Ignatius senior wideout/kick returner David Joseph gave the 'Cats excellent field position by returning the ensuing kickoff into Lancaster territory. On a fourth-and-4 from the Golden Gales' 38, senior wide receiver Nick D'Amico made a nice diving catch at the 26, an effort that saw him reach back for the ball. After junior tight end Blake Thomas hooked up with Hoyer on a 14-yard completion, Grebenc powered his way for 8 yards to the 4. Two plays later, Grebenc fought his way up the gut from 2 yards out and, after the first of four extra-point kicks by junior Tim Shenk, the score was tied with 2 minutes, 34 seconds remaining in the 1st quarter. With the elusive Overstreet hurting the Wildcats with his ball-faking skills and quickness, and junior running back Chris Barr challenging Saint Ignatius' interior defense, Overstreet finished off a 77-yard march by scoring on a 4-yard keeper over the right side with 1:54 to go in the first quarter. Grebenc would score his 2nd TD of the night on a 2-yard run with 4:38 to play in the third quarter. The Wildcats, who defeated the Elks, 24-21, in the 1991 big-school state championship game, cut the deficit to 14-7 on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Hoyer to senior wideout Fred Davis with 1:49 remaining in the first half. Hoyer put the ball the only place he could, Davis made a nice adjustment, grabbed it with two hands and stayed in bounds in the right corner of the end zone. The final two minutes of the third quarter were a roller coaster of emotions, as Lancaster senior quarterback Nolan Flowers found the elusive Smith wide open down the middle of the field for a 79-yard touchdown pass. Saint Ignatius (2-1) would come right back and silence the Golden Gales' faithful with a 65-yard TD strike from Hoyer to senior wide receiver Fred Davis with 54.6 seconds remaining in the third quarter. Davis ran a perfect crossing route and Hoyer put the ball right on the money. Saint Ignatius' score was set up by some hard-nosed running by senior tailback Bobby Grebenc, a 35-yard pass from Hoyer to sophomore running back Tim McVey and a 10-yard, sliding catch by senior Nick D'Amico. Grebenc rushed for 82 yards on 17 carries. With junior fullback Xavier West doing most of the damage inside, Lancaster would respond with another clock-eating drive and tie the score on a 1-yard keeper by Flowers with 4:54 left. It was the Elks' night, however, as they extended their seven-point halftime lead to 31-7 with three authoritative, time-consuming drives in the second half, capped off by a 35-yard TD run by Overstreet with 5:59 remaining on the clock. Displaying the composure that is a trademark of a Chuck Kyle-coached team, the Wildcats, answered with their memorable and authoritative winning drive. “We put the defense in a horrible situation,” said Coach Kyle. “It was pretty obvious we got pushed (by the Elks' offensive line)." 39 2011 Saint Ignatius Wildcats Football 2010 Game - By - Game Results Game 5 ‐ September 25 ‐ Don Bosco Prep Game 6 ‐ October 2 ‐ Mentor Saint Ignatius Wildcats Mentor Cardinals 6 Ramsey (NJ) Don Bosco Prep Ironmen 18 Saint Ignatius Wildcats 33 Harmon Stadium, Steubenville, Ohio 7 Recap courtesy of Eddie Dwyer, www.ignatius.edu Byers Field at Boulton Stadium, Parma, Ohio Recap courtesy of Eddie Dwyer, www.ignatius.edu STEUBENVILLE, OHIO – As he stood at the podium in the press room, Saint Ignatius coach Chuck Kyle '69, a man who knows what it takes to be a successful high school football program, spoke about Don Bosco Prep. Chuck Kyle '69, one of the most successful high school football coaches in the nation, was, as always, straight forward as he discussed what could turn out to be one of the toughest setbacks in Saint Ignatius' rich football history. “It's a great program, a great team,” Kyle said, after the Ironmen from Ramsey, New Jersey defeated his Wildcats, 33-6, in the “Rally in the Valley” USA Today Super 25 /Massey Challenge at Harding Stadium late Saturday afternoon. “The defense played a good game, they really did,” Coach Kyle said, moments after his Wildcats were defeated by the Mentor Cardinals, 18-7, on a wet and dreary Saturday night in Byers Field. “Offensively, we made many mistakes. Obviously, we're disappointed.” The Ironmen (3-0), who have now outscored their 2010 opponents, 101-26, did exactly what they accomplished the previous two weeks by taking command early against the Wildcats. Mentor, a winner over Saint Ignatius for just the third time in 11 meetings, held a 7-0 lead after a first half that saw the Wildcats commit three turnovers – an interception and two fumbles. The Cardinals scored on a 42-yard pass from sophomore quarterback Mitch Trubisky to triple-threat senior Colton Wallace in the second quarter. After Saint Ignatius (2-3) grabbed some momentum on a diving interception by junior Chad Aerni off a deflection by junior Adam North, Don Bosco regrouped. The highlights for the 'Cats in the first 24 minutes were the two interceptions by junior cornerback Dan Jones. Saint Ignatius' defense was solid, especially when you consider the excellent field position Mentor enjoyed in the first two quarters. Sparked by a 46-yard run by senior tailback Paul Canevari, the Ironmen took a 7-0 lead on a 2-yard keeper around the left side by senior quarterback Gary Nova and an extra-point kick by junior Aidan Murray. Canevari's set-up run came off a first-and-15 from the Ironmen 11. Ball-handling mistakes continued to stymie the Wildcats in the third quarter, as an errant pitch rolled out of the end zone for a 9-0 Mentor lead. The Cardinals, on the strength of a 27-yard field goal by Greg Klisuric, led, 12-0, entering the 4th quarter. The 6-foot, 220-pound Canevari struck again, as off a little juke step he burst over the left side, cut to the middle and outran the pursuit for a 58-yard touchdown. Murray's kick was high and true, and Don Bosco led, 14-0, with 2 minutes, 59 seconds remaining in the first quarter. Saint Ignatius, 46-yard Joseph, was threatening late in the third Ignatius behind a 46 yard reception by senior flanker David Joseph quarter with a first-and-goal at the 9. But three plays later, the 'Cats threw another interception. Canevari, who finished with 257 yards rushing, has taken over the Ironmen ground game after playing defensive end and linebacker last season. He was selected as the game's outstanding player. The 'Cats appeared to be in business after a Tyler Kette interception return of 22 yards put the ball on Ironmen 33. But after two incomplete passes, the threat stalled at the Don Bosco 28. The Wildcats, who were playing without injured starting linebackers James Sheehan and Rustom Khouri, got back in the game on a 55-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Matt Hoyer to senior wide receiver Fred Davis, a play that saw Davis go high in the air along the right sideline, come down with ball, cut across the field and outrun the pursuit into the left corner of the end zone. Tim Shenk's extra-point kick was high and true, and Saint Ignatius trailed, 12-7, with 11 minutes, 27 seconds remaining. Kette made his presence felt again when he sacked Nova, forced a fumble and recovered the ball at the Saint Ignatius 47. However, the Wildcats gave the ball right back on the next play, as junior defensive back Kyle Sakowski came up with the first of his two interceptions. Just when the 'Cats appeared to grab the momentum, Mentor took it right back with its decisive 82-yard march, an authoritative drive that was keyed by Wallace. The Ironmen, who are now 123-10 under 12-year head coach Greg Toal, tacked on nine more points in the second quarter. They converted a blocked punt into a safety and, behind a steady diet of Canevari, scored on a run of 14-plus yards by Canevari with 45 seconds left in the first half. Murray extended the lead to 23-0 with his third of four PATs, and it stayed that way entering the third quarter. With Wallace and senior running back Ricky Hanzlik doing the damage on the ground, the Cardinals went back in the driver's seat on a 3-yard keeper up the middle by Wallace with 7:36 left. Sparked by Wallace's 116 yards, rushing and receiving combined, Mentor finished with 294 offensive yards. Saint Ignatius totaled 218 yards. Don Bosco Prep settled the issue in the second half on a 25-yard field goal by Murray and a 10-yard touchdown pass from Nova to junior wide receiver Leonte Carroo. Nova scrambled to his left on third-andgoal from the 10, stayed upright thanks to two missed tackles and found Carroo in the end zone. Linebacker Kurt Laseak led the Cardinals' defensive charge with four sacks, a caused fumble, a fumble recovery and an interception. Senior Joe Greco did a respectable job in facing a strong, quick and athletic Ironmen defense. Despite pressure, he was able to make key connections with wideouts David Joseph and Nick D'Amico and junior tight end Blake Thomas. “Mentor was doing a nice job of shifting its (defensive) fronts a little bit,” said Coach Kyle, who emphasized that the 'Cats' inability to execute a check off at the line of scrimmage led to the safety. “It's a learning process there,” he said. Joseph, who managed some nice catches against Coach Toal's quick-to-close, heavy-hitting secondary, prevented the shutout with a crowd-pleasing 87-yard kickoff return for a touchdown with 6:33 to go. Several of Don Bosco's players sought out David after the game and acknowledged his gutsy play. “Matt (Hoyer) was coming back (after sitting out last week with an injury) and he was rusty. In trying to do check offs, that started causing some confusion. So that's something we have to grow with. The youth showed up a little bit.” 40 2011 Saint Ignatius Wildcats Football 2010 Game - By - Game Results Game 7 ‐ October 9 ‐ Cathedral Prep Game 8 ‐ October 16 ‐ Saint Francis Erie (PA) Cathedral Prep Ramblers 19 Buffalo (NY) Saint Francis Red Raiders Saint Ignatius Wildcats 48 Saint Ignatius Wildcats 7 47 Byers Field at Boulton Stadium, Parma, Ohio Recap courtesy of Eddie Dwyer, www.ignatius.edu Byers Field at Boulton Stadium, Parma, Ohio Recap courtesy of Eddie Dwyer, www.ignatius.edu “They're a dangerous team,” Coach Chuck Kyle said of a program that is renewing its football rivalry with the Wildcats on Saturday at 7 p.m. in Byers Field. Although Cathedral Prep has competed against Saint Ignatius in basketball and baseball the past two years, this will be the first meeting on the gridiron between the schools since 2003. Saint Ignatius' gritty and gifted senior wide receiver/kick returner David Joseph said he “thrives on these type of games,” games he and his teammates must have if their playoff aspirations are to become a reality. Saturday night on Parma's Byers Field in Robert M. Boulton Stadium, Joseph ignited the early offensive fire that led to a 47-7 victory over St. Francis High School from Athol Springs, NY. The Wildcats (2-4), who lead the all-time series, 5-1, defeated the Ramblers in both 2002 and 2003 by scores of 28-0 and 24-21, respectively. You have to go back to the 1930s to chart the other four meetings, with Cathedral Prep's victory coming in 1932, 33-7. The Wildcats (4-4) brought it in a hurry against the Red Raiders (2-5) on Saturday night, scoring 20 points in the first 12 minutes. Joseph combined with junior quarterback Matt Hoyer on a 15-yard scoring play, junior tailback Dan Grace scored on a 28-yard run over the left side and it was Hoyer-to-Joseph again, this time a 39-yard fly pattern. “Their line goes both ways, that's something we feel is a plus for us,” Coach Kyle said. “Defensively (for Cathedral Prep), it's a four-man front. But they will blitz and they will twist from all over the place. They try to cause confusion. They'll lock on man coverage, get up in your face, run with you and try to make something happen that way. In playing a little more than two quarters, Hoyer completed 7 of 9 passes for 190 yards and three touchdowns, Grace rushed for 66 yards and two scores, and the quick and elusive Joseph complemented his TD receptions with three punt returns that totaled 103 yards and gave Coach Chuck Kyle's team excellent field position in the early going. “We have to be able to pick up the twists and the blitzes and make it a positive for us. We hope that they blitz and we hope that they twist, because we'll react to that and have a good play. That's our mentality.” Sophomore safety/running back Tim McVey flashed his promising credentials early and often by coming up with a sack and and, on the next play play, bursting through the line of defense defense, blocking a punt and scooping up the ball for a 5-yard touchdown return. The 'Cats climbed from 17th place to the 15th spot in the weekly Joe Eitel Football Computer Ratings. The top eight teams in each of the state's 24 regions at the end of the regular season qualify for the playoffs playoffs. Saint Ignatius, dominating the first half, turned back the Ramblers from Erie Cathedral Prep, 48-19, on Saturday night in a non-league football matchup on Byers Field in Parma's Robert M. Boulton Stadium. After tall and talented junior tight end Blake Thomas hooked up with Hoyer on a 21-yard score off a flag route, Saint Ignatius led, 34-0, at halftime. The Wildcats, who snapped a three-game losing streak, turned to a strong ground game in improving to 34. Saint Ignatius closed out its offensive barrage with a 2-yard scoring run by Grace in the third quarter and a 55-yard touchdown by McVey in the fourth quarter, a play that saw the brother of Saint Ignatius two-time All-Ohio linebacker Scott McVey '10 power up the middle, break a tackle, elude another would-be defender and turn on the jets. Senior tailback Bobby Grebenc, who committed to Brown University this past week (see the corner's story on 10/6/10), scored two of his three touchdowns in the first 24 minutes. Junior tailback Dan Grace rushed for more than 100 yards and a touchdown on eight carries. “Timmy has excellent speed and he's a tough kid,” said Coach Kyle '69. “The upperclassmen respect him quite a bit.” Saint Ignatius, which outscored Cathedral Prep, 35-6, in the first two quarters, also struck early on a 15yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Matt Hoyer to senior wide receiver David Joseph and a 35yard interception return by senior linebacker Tyler Kette. Among the 'Cats' other highlights were a key first-half interception by senior cornerback R.J. Previts and a second-effort 73-yard catch and run by senior tailback Anthony Mascia off a screen pass from Hoyer. Cathedral Prep dropped to 3-3. 41 2011 Saint Ignatius Wildcats Football 2010 Game - By - Game Results Game 9 ‐ October 23 ‐ Saint Xavier Saint Ignatius Wildcats Cincinnati Saint Xaiver Bombers Game 10 ‐ October 23 ‐ Saint Edward 9 19 Lakewood Saint Edward Eagles 33 Saint Ignatius Wildcats 10 Ballaban Field at St Xaiver Stadium, Cincinnati, Ohio Recap courtesy of Eddie Dwyer, www.ignatius.edu Byers Field at Boulton Stadium, Parma, Ohio Recap courtesy of Eddie Dwyer, www.ignatius.edu CINCINNATI, OHIO – Providing all of the computer gurus are correct and all of the numbers add up, one of the greatest runs in the history of Ohio high school athletics came to an end late Saturday afternoon on Ballaban Field in St. Xavier Stadium. Saint Ignatius, winner of a state-record 10 Division I state championships, including an Ohio-best five in a row (1991-95), experienced its first sub-.500 season since 1982 after losing to the undefeated and nationally ranked Eagles, 33-10, in Parma's Byers Field. Field position told the story of the early going as the Wildcats couldn't move the ball after junior safety Mike Svetina, who is having an outstanding fall, came up with a leaping interception at the Saint Ignatius 8-yard line. It marks the first time in Chuck Kyle's remarkable 28-year career as head coach that the Wildcats (4-6) closed their season below the .500 mark Forcing the Wildcats to punt from their end zone, the Bombers turned the short field into a 26-yard field goal by senior kicker/linebacker Sean Duggan with seven minutes, 53 seconds remaining in the first quarter. “If someone told me 28 years ago that I would have only one of these, I'd take it,” said Coach Kyle '69, whose career record of 277-65-1 also includes three national titles (1989, '93 and '95) and 13 Region 1 championships, including nine consecutive regional crowns from 1991-'99. Shutting down the Wildcats' running game, St. Xavier again pinned Saint Ignatius deep and, following another punt, the team from the Queen City took possession at the Wildcats' 44. Four plays later, senior quarterback Max James powered his way over the right side and into the end zone for an 11yard touchdown run. Duggan's extra-point kick was high and true, and the Bombers led, 10-0, with 5:09 to go in the opening quarter. The 'Cats had their monents in the second quarter, including a 56-yard punt by senior Peter Russo, a fourth-down defensive stand that stopped St. Xavier inches short of a first down at the Saint Ignatius 21 and a second-effort catch and run of 16 yards by senior tailback and co-captain Bobby Grebenc. However, Saint Ignatius also botched a couple of punt returns in the first 24 minutes and had some bad luck when Grebenc went down with an injury with 5:27 left in the half and junior Tim Shenk's 45-yard field goal attempt, which appeared to heading right down the middle of the uprights, got caught in a stiff crossing wind and went off to the left. Shenk put his team back in the game when he delivered a 46-yard field goal with 8:50 left in the third quarter. The 3-pointer was set up by a 48-yard return by senior wideout David Joseph with the secondhalf kickoff and a nice catch and run by Joseph off a quick hitter from junior quarterback Matt Hoyer. St. Edward, which trails the all-time series against Saint Ignatius, 25-21-1, snapped a four-game losing streak to the Wildcats. The Eagles took an early 7-0 lead on a Terrelle Bates TD run Saint Ignatius, which completed one of the most demanding schedules in its football history, responded with an interception by standout junior safety Mike Svetina, an effort that led to a 50-yard field goal by junior Tim Shenk with four minutes, 21 seconds remaining in the first quarter. After Shenk drove another kickoff out of the end zone, St. Edward followed the lead of its highly regarded offensive line and pushed its advantage to 14 14-33 off another 80 80-yard yard march march. Following a short punt, the Eagles took over at the Saint Ignatius 33. Two plays later, Burke connected with Chris Connors on a 29-yard touchdown pass. The Wildcats' young and injury-riddled defense, which put forth a stronger effort than the final score would indicate, came up with a goal-line stand and stopped St. Edward for no gain on fourth down from the Saint Ignatius 1-yard line. It was a short-lived booster, however, as on the very next play the Eagles' defense recorded a safety. The Bombers, aided by an illegal-participation penalty (12 players on the field) as they were punting the ball to the Wildcats and an encroachment penalty on Saint Ignatius, got some breathing room on a 4yard touchdown run by junior tailback Conor Hundley with 1:07 remaining in the third quarter. For most of the first 24 minutes, the Wildcats couldn't sustain an offensive attack. They managed just 40 yards of offense in the first half. A 37-yard field goal by Duggan, which came off the second of three interceptions by St. Xavier's active and athletic secondary, pushed the Bombers' lead to 19-3 early in the fourth quarter and Coach Steve Specht's team withstood a 25-yard catch and scoot for a touchdown by Joseph with 2:04 left to be played. Joseph's TD capped an eight-play, 80-yard drive. Joe Greco, who replaced starter Matt Hoyer late in the second quarter, engineered an impressive nineplay drive on the first possession of the second half. It was a sustained effort that included a 44-yard run by junior tailback Dan Grace off a draw play, and was highlighted by a fourth-and-goal from the 3 that saw Greco roll right and find junior tight end Blake Thomas in the end zone. Shenk's extra point was high and true, and Saint Ignatius trailed, 23-10. The second half was more than a little physical, as senior quarterback Joe Greco, who replaced Hoyer with 8:13 to go, was shaken up by helmet-to-helmet contact as he was sliding to the ground in an attempt to get a first down. The play happened right in front of Saint Ignatius' bench and Coach Kyle couldn't understand why what appeared to be an obvious penalty wasn't called. The Wildcats completed 17 of 40 passes for 261 yards, including a 2-for-4 performance for 16 yards by Greco. However, Saint Ignatius netted -minus 15 yards on the ground in 15 rushing attempts. With Mr. Momentum edging so slightly to the Ridge Road side of Byers Field, the Wildcats forced a punt and took possession at the St. Edward 46. Momentum is a fickle friend, however, and, after it was ruled that Thomas fumbled during a play in which he appeared to be down before the ball came loose, the Eagles were awarded possession at their 43. From there, Coach Rick Finotti's team regained control with a 10-point fourth quarter. 42 2011 Saint Ignatius Wildcats Football OHSAA and Playoffs The Harbin Rating System A former newspaper staffer and cash register repair man from Willowick, Jack Harbin, is essentially responsible for the playoff format used by the OHSAA to decide it's football championships for the previous 40 years Harbin developed a mathmatical formula in the 1960's that is quite simple - a high school football team earns points for every victory (or tie); then also receives secondary points for every game a defeated opponent wins (or ties). No points are awarded for a loss on either level The most important factor in this equation is the 'size of school' component. Teams are awared more points based on the enrollment of boys at the opponent's school. The OHSAA used the Harbin Rating System on a trail basis in 1971 and in 1972 with the approval of the Ohio High School Football Coach Association and the OHSAA, the Board at the OHSAA officially implemented Jack Harbin''s Rating System as the offical determination of playoff-bound teams.
