Senior quarterback Mitch Trubisky further cemented his name in Mentor lore when he whipped a touchdown pass to Brandon Fritts with 33 seconds remaining and erased a 21-point, second-half deficit as the Cardinals won, 63-56, over St. Edward, the top-ranked team in the state.

The Cardinals will now face defending state champion and arch nemesis St. Ignatius in the regional final for the right to go to the Division I Final Four. St. Ignatius blasted North Royalton, 56-0, in a game that ended virtually an hour earlier than Mentor’s win at Byers Field on Saturday evening.

Mentor is now 11-1, while St. Edward finished its season at 11-1.

In a game that featured two teams combining for 1,266 yards of offense, Mentor’s defense came up big when it needed to the most, shutting down St. Edward’s offense completely after the Eagles scored their final touchdown for a 56-35 lead at 5:44 of the third quarter.

Trubisky rallied the Cardinals with two rushing touchdowns of 27 and 2 yards and two TD passes to Fritts of 8 and the game-winner for 16 yards for 28 unanswered points.

“It was a great game. It was a lot of fun playing. We never counted ourselves out. We just kept battling and came through in the end,”Trubisky said. “We knew our defense was going to come around and get a stop and they did. But you’ve always got to keep believing or else you’re not going to win.”

Trubisky finished with four touchdown passes and had 478 yards on 36-for-48 yards passing. Trubisky also piled up 98 yards on 25 rushes. Fritts caught all four of Trubisky’s touchdown passes and finished with a whopping 243 yards on 14 receptions.

All week, the buzz surrounding Mentor's football team and its Division I regional final against St. Ignatius was that the Cardinals might play a great game.

They might win.

But they could never top last week's 63-56 victory over St. Edward.

"I think we just did," Mentor wide receiver Brandon Fritts said after catching the winning two-point conversion in the Cardinals 57-56, triple-overtime victory in front of 9,500 at Byers Field.

Mentor's Mitch Trubisky wins Ohio Mr. Football award for 2012 before heading to North Carolina
Tim Warsinskey, The Plain Dealer, November 28, 2012

Mentor, Ohio - Perhaps no Ohio football team and quarterback played at a more frenetic pace and in more frantic games than Mentor and senior Mitch Trubisky this fall. The Cardinals seemed to score points by the dozen and considered a three-touchdown deficit a gimme putt.

Surrounded by youth while calmly leading the charge, Trubisky took Mentor further than it perhaps should have gone in a way few others have played the game.

Trubisky's record-setting season and, at times, astounding play was recognized Wednesday when he was named Ohio's Mr. Football by the Associated Press, an annual award given to the top high school player regardless of division.

Trubisky received the news while out to dinner at a Mentor steakhouse with his family and coaches.

?It's incredible right now,'' Trubisky said in a phone interview. "I'm pacing back and forth and I really can't believe it. It's a very prestigious honor. I'm incredibly proud. I'm out to dinner with the people I love and I could not have done it without them.''

Mitch Trubisky, who – like Francis – is another early enrollee, started at quarterback for the White team and completed seven of his 14 attempts for 88 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. If the season began now, Fedora said Trubisky would serve as Renner’s backup.

Trubisky was frequently on the run. The defense sacked him six times – a “sack” coming merely as the result of a touch and not a tackle, given that it was a scrimmage. Kareem Martin, a rising senior defensive end, had four of those sacks, and two other tackles for loss.

“I was amped up to play,” Martin said. “… (The) spring game wraps up spring ball, so I just wanted to show everybody what I’ve been working on.”

So according to some the Browns made their intentions too well known in wanting Mitch while the Bears cooly maneuvered to draft him. And others believe that the Bears got played like a fiddle in trading up to get him when SF wasn't interested and the Browns weren't going up for him......

I'm not comfortable with the price it would have taken for the Browns to draft Mitch. I'm thinking at least 12 and next years first to move up to 2. Judging by everything else I've read about the Bears draft I'm guessing they got played.

He's a good pick for a first-rounder, but I don't see how he exploded and became even in the discussion for the number one pick. He started one year at UNC, does a lot of roll-outs and dink-type of passes, is not incredibly athletic (he's serviceable), etc....I'm not sure why the Bears didn't take the approach of taking him if he was there at three, but going another direction if not. Head-scratching turn of events, but congrats to the non-Buckeye Ohio QB. Hope he has a great career like Big Ben.
