4A Division 1 State Football Championship – Bishop Miege vs Hayden 11-29-14

The final day of football for 2014 took me to Topeka for a matchup of two Catholic High Schools, Bishop Miege of Shawnee Mission and Hayden of Topeka, to decide the KSHSAA Class 4A Division I Championship.

Miege came in carrying a dominating record, but Hayden put up the first points on the board. The game was a back and forth affair. Bishop Miege took a two score lead in the second half and held on to win 42 to 35.

Below are some of the pictures I took at the game:
