The 99th meeting of Western New York's most storied rivalry saw Canisius win in a rout to tie up the all-time rivalry series for the first time in decades.
The Crusaders dominated St. Joe's, 49-7, on Koessler Field in front of a standing-room-only crowd of thousands at Robert J. Stransky Memorial Athletic Complex.
CHS tied the all-time series with St. Joe's at 48-48-3, the first time the series has been tied since 1987.
The Crusaders have won 18 of the last 19 games, including the last eight.

And here is the locker-room reaction from the CHS Football family:
The Crusaders' began the best high school football schedule in Western New York with three high-quality out-of-state opponents. Still on the schedule is another WNY Game of the Year at Lancaster and a matchup with two-time Monsignor Martin Athletic Association champion St. Francis.
Next week CHS travels to Benedictine in Cleveland, Ohio to take on another tough opponent. The game
will be streamed here.
