Maloney defeated Windsor 35-21 to win its first state title in program history. Josh Boganski scored four touchdowns and racked up 244 rushing yards in the win.
"This was our goal for the whole year and we finally accomplished it, so it feels really, really, really good," said Boganski.
"A lot of people thought I was crazy I was going to Maloney and we wouldn't make the playoffs, we wouldn't make it to a state championship let alone win a state championship," said Maloney head coach Kevin Frederick. "We proved them all wrong today and Maloney is one of the best teams in the state."
"We needed the respect," said Maloney senior quarterback Angel Arce. "We felt like we deserved it and we got it. We put a statement in this game."
