The No. 5 Archbishop Hoban Knights (5-1) defeated the No. 7 Walsh Jesuit Warriors (5-1) 19-14 in a top 25 Ohio high school football matchup on Friday at Dowed Field Stadium.

Junior running back Brayton Feister led the Knights with physical running and two rushing touchdowns, including one in the final minute to give Archbishop Hoban the win after a long drive. He finished with 14 rushes for 125 yards.

On defense, Archbishop Hoban junior defensive back Jaiden Daniels had two interceptions for the Knights, including one in the second half in the red zone.

The Warriors had a chance for a game-winning drive with 36 seconds remaining, but senior running back Marty Tobin muffed the kickoff, and the ball went out of bounds at the 1-yard line. It was a difficult disadvantage to overcome, and the Warriors could not drive the 99 yards for a touchdown.
