XAVIER POWERS PAST ST. PETER’S, STORMS INTO CHSFL AA I FINAL

The Knights of Xavier (9–2) powered their way into their first CHSFL AA I championship game since 2018. Leaning on their trademark, disciplined offense, the Knights methodically pulled away from No. 4 St. Peter’s (6–5) in a 30–13 semifinal victory. The win sets up a showdown with top-seeded St. Joseph by the Sea. Xavier is seeking its first AA I title since 2015, having last captured a league crown in 2019 when it won the AA II championship.
