This will be the ninth straight year that they have played. X has won the previous eight, the closest being a 31-30 win in OT in 2011.

 

X's connection with Central goes way back and while Central is a 3 A school they provide top competition.

Saint X and Flaget were the only 2 schools in Jefferson County who would play Central, then an all black school, in the 1950s. Started like in 1951. Those teams were recently honored at Central a few years ago. I suspect that the schools have played each other in football about 50 times, at least.
