The contest lived up to the hype, with Cleveland taking a hard-fought 44-35 win Friday night.
It's the first loss for Cardinal Gibbons.
"Last year, they did us dirty," said Cleveland wide receiver Joi Williams. "So I had to come out here and do what I had to do."
Rams quarterback Darius Ocean said the team practiced hard all week.
"We had really good competitions all week, and that's what really helped us out a lot," Ocean said.
