XAVIER  19  -  ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST  7  
     
   
     
 
The Team Formerly Known as the Kaydets... and then the Bruins... (Est. 1882) beat Baptist at Aviator Field tonight and looked damned good doing it.  As is always the case when these two teams meet, it was a fierce and physical game— but despite being outsized— especially on the offensive and defensive lines— the Knights were just quicker and more aggressive than the Cougars.  A very fun game to watch.  (The lads get so excited whenever they get the chance to play on a real football field that they just can't contain themselves.)  
 
With this victory, the 16th Street Kids improve to 2-0 for their best start since 2008, when current linebacker coach Sean "Stonewall" Kelly '10 was terrorizing opposing linemen, running backs and receivers alike from his backer position, and his brother Seamus '09— who, four hours from now  will be playing in his first Rugby World Cup match— was compiling running back stats and records that may never be surpassed.

Stand by...
