Jaden Jefferson let the glee of victory overtake his face as the clock expired, grinning ear to ear after a hard-fought win against St. Paul. Trailing at halftime, he motivated his teammates, channeling the legacy of past Cathedral quarterbacks. Jefferson’s two touchdown passes and 201 all-purpose yards led Cathedral to a 16-14 victory, clinching their first league title since 2018. 'We worked all year for this. Now, playoffs, CIF championships, here we come,' he expressed.
St. Paul coach Mike Moschetti entered Friday's game with the intention of limiting Jaden's impact on the field. Initially, this strategy appeared effective as St. Paul controlled the game with two long drives, leading at halftime. However, Cathedral's second-half adjustments from their young quarterback made a difference, showcasing his growth and ability to perform under pressure.
