Perry debuts on PD’s Top 25 Poll

The Pirates debut this week at No. 21 on the Plain Dealer’s Top 25 poll.
I expect Perry to continue to climb in the rankings.
Aurora fell to No. 19, after losing to Avon last week. Avon is now ranked No. 18. It looks like Avon is rebounding as a program.
Maybe Avon is really just that good. [...]

What to watch this week in the CVC

West Geauga vs. Riverside - West G played a very good Padua team close last week, before falling 26-19. Riverside lost to Perry 30-6 last week. West G beat Riverside 29-24 last year. The Wolverines are the favorites this week, but the real question is how good will West G look in this game? The [...]

Solon defeats Canton McKinley

The Comets started the season off with a surprisingly easy 24-10 win over the Bulldogs.
Solon led 14-3 at the half and was never really threatened. The Comets new backfield acquitted itself well. Juan Lemus scored the first points of the game off a 31-yard touchdown run. Jake Voigt hit tight end Ryan Rosenberg for a [...]

CVC news and notes

Here is a quick run down of last night’s game, complete with some notes.
Perry beat Riverside 30-6 — After the first week of the season, one thing is clear: Perry is the favorite in the CVC Chagrin Division. Next week we’ll find out if Aurora or West Geauga will be the team challenging Perry this [...]

Aurora shocked by Avon

When Aurora scheduled Avon, I don’t think they intended for it to be a difficult game.
It turned out to be more than difficult. The Greenmen lost 27-24, in what has to be a wake-up call for Aurora. Not even Avon was expecting to win this game:
“Amen!” Avon coach Mike Elder said. “We stole one. My [...]
