A look back at last week's games that I attended:
FRIDAY NIGHT-Akron St.Vincent-St.Mary vs. Lake Catholic. I was as surprised as anybody at the result of this one. The fact of the matter is, though, that SV-SM was the better team and may have been better all along. It's just hard to imagine the Cougars losing so early in the playoffs, new team or not. That's how high the expectations are. It goes without saying, for longtime observers of area high school football, that Lake Catholic will be back next year and will undoubtedly be around much longer.
SATURDAY NIGHT-Mentor vs. Solon. It seemed unbelievable, but for a team that showed utter dominance of its opponent and had to fight for its playoff life in the same game, Mentor made sure its fans got their money's worth on Saturday night. The question is: what does the second half, in which the Cardinals were outscored 26-7 by the Comets, mean going forward? Will it carry over to next week? These questions lead to one even bigger question: Is Mentor a contender or pretender for the long-coveted State Championship?
