Cardinal Newman Crusaders, 34; Benjamin Buccaneers, 20
Bragging rights were on the line as the Cardinal Newman Crusaders traveled to Palm Beach Gardens to play The Benjamin School Buccaneers.
WPTV Reporter Todd Wilson spoke to Benjamin School's Head Coach Eric Kresser about what the game means to the community.
"It doesn't matter what our record is when this game comes around everybody's hyped up," Kresser said. "This is for a district championship, so doesn't matter if you're 0-2 or 2-0, whoever wins this game is the district champion."
The game certainly lived up to the hype with the Crusaders starting off the season with three straight road games.
