It was an all-NCL week for me last week. Games I attended:
FRIDAY NIGHT: Akron Hoban at Lake Catholic. It was business as usual for the Cougars last week: One NCL foe played, one NCL foe vanquished. Lake Catholic is rounding into form nicely before the Division 3 playoffs. Hoban featured star defensive end Greg McMullen, who is on his way to the University of Nebraska next season. That's something unique in itself-not many players from this area have gone on to play football there. Thanks to a stellar job by the Cougar offensive line, he wasn't much of a factor in the game. Now Lake Catholic, having finished the conference schedule, will travel to play the undefeated Avon Eagles. Some playoff tune-up.
SATURDAY NIGHT: VASJ at Holy Name. It was a big chance for the Vikings to put themselves right into the D6 playoffs and clinch a tie for the NCL White championship, but it just didn't happen. VASJ rushed for 381 yards, but gave up too many big plays through the air. The Vikings still have an outside shot at the playoffs, but need to beat Gilmour next week and hope that Wellsville and Strasburg-Franklin lose. Serpintini Chevrolet Stadium, home to both North Royalton and Holy Name, is one of the most beautiful I have seen.
