Prep Football: Cathedral Catholic Dominate to Reclaim Undisputed Championship Belt

In a stunning display, the Cathedral Catholic Dons (6-1) overwhelmed the Granite Hills Eagles (5-2) with a decisive 52-6 victory. With the win, the Dons reclaim the coveted Undisputed Championship Belt. Cathedral will host the Lincoln Hornets (5-2) on Friday, October 18, in what should be a thrilling Western League bout. Lincoln, currently ranked No. 1 in the county, will be looking to reclaim the belt they took from the Dons in 2022. The Hornets won the last two meeting against Cathedral.
