EAGLES DOMINATE THEIR WAY TO REGIONAL FINAL

MEDINA OH- On what was a cold and windy Saturday night, most would call it perfect football weather. It was a perfect matchup if that was the case, as two of the best in Region 25 squared off.

As the #2 seeded Nowalk St. Paul Flyers versus the #3 seeded Warren JFK Eagles.
The Flyers came in with the right mentality to try and beat a very tough JFK team. Running a lot of plays and winning the time of possession. The less The Eagles have the ball, the better if you are their opponent.

However, it all started with the coin toss at the beginning of the game. As JFK won the toss, differed, and promptly forced The Flyers to a three-and-out.

The Eagles came right back on offense. With a big run from Michael Mauro that set up a touchdown run from Antwan Brown, The Eagles took an early 7-0 lead.

A lead that JFK would not look back from the rest of the night forward.
Nowalk tried multiple times to hit paydirt in the first half, but The Eagles defense held strong, as JFK was holding a 14-7 lead with just over 20 seconds left in the 2nd quarter.

As Kennedy was able to punch another one in to end the half and take a commanding 21-7 lead going into halftime.

They wasted little time, scoring again out of halftime, completing the two-for-one opportunity that resulted in a 28-7 lead.
Antwan Brown had 3 rushing touchdowns and Caleb Hadley added one on the ground to make up the 28 points from JFK.

Nowalk played a tough offense all night, getting first downs, and holding the ball for a majority of the night. But Warren had a bend but do not break mentality, as The Eagles did not allow more than one touchdown on the night.

Antwan Brown added another rushing touchdown on the night to complete the hat trick plus one, as JFK put away Nowalk 35-7.

As the win for Warren JFK will set them up with #4 seeded Dalton on Saturday, November 20th in The Regional Final.

JFK HOLDS BACK ST PAUL TO GET INTO SEMIFINALS

WARREN OH- Warren JFK had to hold strong on a final drive from St Paul to hang on to their late lead and win 27-21 in the quarterfinals. The Eagles built a two score lead in the first half, but St Paul’s offense came out swinging and gave the Eagles a battle to the end.

Jesse Likens got the Eagles on the board first with a one yard run capping an 80 yard opening drive. Then after forcing a three and out, Likens struck again this time from 13 yards out. Cam Hollobaugh was also productive for the Eagles gaining 168 yards on the ground with 30 carries. He also added 59 yards through the air. Hollobaugh scores maybe the most important touchdown of the day with a 50 yard blast when the game was 20-14 Eagles. The 13 point lead was just enough to hold on to a 27-21 win.

The Eagles advance to the regional semifinals next week as they’ll host Dalton.
