The Shamrocks got on the board early in the fourth quarter on an 18-yard run by Stephen Headings.

The Region II top-seeded Cardinals will next face St Xavier in the second round, as the ninth-seeded Bombers knocked off Gahanna Lincoln on the road to advance to next Saturday’s second round matchup. The Cardinals won the regular season matchup back on September 5th in a defensive battle, 13-10. The site is to be determined.
