AND THAT IS IT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!! Christ Church are again your A State Champions and rightfully so. They totally deserved this victory with two class finishes.
Player of the match for this commentator has been Robert DiBenedetto who played all 80 minutes and was simply outstanding in his energy, pace and effort with Cole Seiler being a close 2nd. #16 DiBenedetto gave AM fits today was a real menace for the Cavaliers. His strike hit the bar and was fiercely finished to push his team to victory. Seiler's alertness and class finishing earned him the first goal and the game winner while his tricks and craftiness carved up AM in the first half.
Christ Church owns this trophy as they are the only school to win the A State Championship in its existence. The SCHSL could surely save money in this harsh economy by just creating a 2009 plate for CC to slap on last year's trophy.
Congrats also to Academic Magnet on a fine season as they finish as the Lower-State Champions! It was simply not to be today as their chances never came to any real goal scoring threat. It's a tough pill to swallow for anyone to end a season on a losing note but the Raptors can hold their heads high as they will surely continue to be successful in the A classification.
