2002 Division II State Champions
Dayton Chaminade-Julienne High School
Coach: Jim Place

Division II: Sophomore running back Devon Ringer rushed for a Division II state finals record 251 yards and four touchdowns to lead sixth-ranked Dayton Chaminade-Julienne (14-1) to a 41-26 win over No. 9 Macedonia Nordonia. It was the highest scoring Division II final in history. After senior linebacker Kevin Reese picked up a fumble and ran for a 35-yard touchdown, Ringer upped the Eagles’ lead to 14-0 with his first score from 12 yards out. He added third-quarter scoring runs for 70 and 60 yards and a fourth-quarter scoring jaunt of 37 yards. Nordonia held a 388 to 350 lead in total yards and outgained C-J on the ground, 313 yards to 281 behind junior quarterback Tom Stockle’s 137 rushing yards and junior running back Ben Batton’s 120. But the Knights’ five turnovers proved to be more costly than the four committed by Chaminade-Julienne.
