Loyola beat St. Rita, 24-21!

Malcolm Weaver (above) threw for 131 yards and two touchdowns as the No. 8 Ramblers upset the previously unbeaten No. 3 Mustangs last night on the South Side.

The Wilmette squad now shares in a three-way tie for the Catholic League Blue title with St. Rita and Mount Carmel. It's Loyola's first conference title since 1993, before many of the current players were even born.

The Ramblers took advantage of four turnovers and two fake punts, including a dramatic one from its own 32-yard line with just over four minutes remaining in the final quarter. The first down allowed Loyola to eat up the clock and force an interception from St. Rita on the next set of downs to end the game.
