High School Football in Review-Week 11

  A look back at the games I attended last week:

FRIDAY NIGHT-Oberlin Firelands at Chagrin Falls-This was a battle of 10-0 teams, one of which-Firelands-was competing in the playoffs for the first time. It showed. The Falcons had a good QB and some good receivers, but were powerless to stop the offense of Chagrin Falls. The Tigers made it look easy when they had the ball, and on defense, they gave up some through the air, but also intercepted 5 passes. A game that was 17-14 in the second quarter was 66-14 by the third.

SATURDAY NIGHT-Solon at South-It was an interesting matchup: the powerhouse Comets against a talented, junior-laden Rebel team at home in Willoughby. There was a sense that anything could happen, but Solon was likely going to prove to be more than South could handle. That's pretty much how it went in a 37-12 Solon victory. South has a lot to look forward to next year with a lot of returning players, including a possible Mr.Football candidate in Kareem Hunt.
