(The Center Square) – Democratic Socialists will now lead America’s two most populous cities and the nation’s capital, raising questions over the Democratic Socialist of America platform.

St. John's dominates Gonzaga 44-3 in century-old high school rivalry

When talking about the St. John’s College High vs. Gonzaga College High rivalry , fans brought up a few comparisons: Michigan vs. Ohio State. Auburn vs. Alabama. USC vs. Notre Dame. That’s a tall order for a high school football game. But on a sunny fall afternoon in Washington, D.C., the atmosphere at St. John’s' packed Fernandez Stadium sure delivered. This year’s iteration may not have quite replicated the often-tight competition of its college football comparisons – St. John’s took down the Eagles 44-3 – but that didn’t touch the rowdy enthusiasm of either fan base in the sold-out crowd. St. John’s students hung sheets painted with “Birds Aren’t Real” and “Beat Gonzaga” (with all the Gs ex-ed out, of course), while Gonzaga kept up their chants of “God is Purple” all the way until the blowout’s final seconds. More: This weekend, DC has a different century-spanning power struggle: St John's vs Gonzaga There were some extra bragging rights on the line during this 106th meeting of the legendary D.C. rivalry – heading in, the all-time series record was knotted up at 50-50-5.
