Joining the Rams will be semifinalists from Cincinnati: St.
Ursula, Princeton, and Mount Notre Dame. Each of the four teams will play a team from the Cleveland Browns regional in the state quarterfinals. The Rams looked nigh on unstoppable throughout the tournament thanks to a lights-out passing attack and stingy defense.
Senior receiver Addi Marshall was named offensive MVP as she broke free for deep touchdown receptions time and time again, making impressive catches and shaking off defenders in open space. Marshall only picked up flag football this season but has already established herself as a force to be reckoned with. "I never expected something like this to happen," Marshall said.
