"SAN FRANCISCO A Bruce-Mahoney game that began with the annual reminder of sportsmanlike conduct ended with the players and coaches from both teams needing to be separated by school administrators after coming face-to-face at midfield. St. Ignatius controlled the game just as it has the rivalry that dates back beyond 1900, and Wildcats players wanted to celebrate their 23-14 win with a photo on the field."
"While St. Ignatius coach JuJuan Lawson said the postgame photo on the field is a tradition for the winning team, his counterpart on the Sacred Heart Cathedral sideline, Antoine Evans, said the way they went about it was totally unprofessional. Some bickering happened, some argument happened, they said some stuff, we said some stuff, Lawson said. It's a rivalry for a reason. Historically, the rivalry has been one-sided, with St. Ignatius claiming 16 of 22 matchups since 2004"
St. Ignatius won the Bruce-Mahoney rivalry game 23-14 while controlling the contest and building a 17-0 halftime lead. Senior quarterback Caedon Afsharipour threw two touchdown passes, including a 59-yard score, and junior Luke Tribolet produced a 34-yard touchdown run. Wildcats players sought a traditional postgame photo on the field after the victory, then returned toward midfield, prompting objections from Sacred Heart Cathedral and a verbal confrontation. School administrators separated players and coaches. The rivalry remains historically lopsided, with St. Ignatius winning the majority of recent meetings dating back beyond 1900.
