/in /by

CANFIELD OH-The Canfield Cardinals hosted Notre Dame Cathedral Latin in week one of the high school football playoffs. The Cardinals got off to a hot start and never looked back.

Canfield kicked the football away to start the game, and got a stop right near midfield. The Cardinals were pinned inside their own five, until Broc Lowry busted away for a 93 yard touchdown run to get the Cardinals on the board. The Cardinals went on a 35-0 run to end the half and went into the locker room up by 35.

The Cardinals would get on the board one more time in the second half, but gave up two late touchdowns to win the ballgame 42-14.

Broc Lowry finished the ballgame with 148 yards rushing and 130 yards passing while completing 5-6 passing attempts. Senior tailback Mike Crawford had a great night with multiple touchdowns to guide the Cardinals on the ground. Canfield will host Hubbard at home next Friday at 7. Catch all the action on YSN!

BELOIT OH- The West Branch offense scored more than anyone in the state of Ohio. After Week 9, their big average wasn’t going to fall. They dropped 77 points on Minerva to rout the Lions 77-0. Multiple players broke or tied records on the night.

Steven Marra found the endzone three times on the night. Those three touchdowns put him at 25 did the season. That breaks the previous program record of 23 set by Trae Hillyer in 2015. Nick Wilson got in on the action tying the record for touchdown receptions in a season. He now has 14, which ties Tom Sanor. One more record was to be broken on the night. Ben Tolson’s 7 PAT’s gave him a career total 96, which breaks a record set by Scott Loudon from 1989-1991.

With Carrollton’s loss to Marlington, West Branch officially clinched the EBC Championship. Don’t think they’ll relax in Week 10 though. There is plenty to get up for as the Warriors do battle with heated rival Salem on Saturday in Salem.
