Colerain tops St. X on overtime FG

A 38-yard overtime field goal by Christian Dinevski lifted Colerain over St. Xavier, 13-10 on Saturday.

The Cardinals opened the scoring less than three minutes into the game when Javon Hicks caught a 44-yard TD pass from Deshaunte Jones.

It would be Colerain’s only touchdown of the game.

The Bombers’ Nick Arcuri cut the lead to four when he hit a 44-yard field goal in the first minute of the second quarter.
