10/30: Photos vs. AuroraField position. West Geauga will take it every time.
The Wolverines also will take advantage of all the mistakes you want to hand them. Kenston can attest to that as the Bombers, unable to get a handle on the football game, let their Chagrin Valley Conference Valley Division rival go home with a 21-0 win at Bomber Stadium on Friday night.
The Wolverines (8-1, 4-1), who came in No. 3 in the Division II, Region 5 computer rankings, had their share of miscues during the rain-soaked affair on artificial turf. But none of them were as costly has those made by the home club.
On October 23rd, the Bomber football team will be taking on a very tough and determined West Geauga Wolverine football team. "It's the biggest game of the season, that's for sure," said senior defensive captain Pat Behm. The Bombers, now 6-2 after a recent victory over Geneva, hope to be the first to shut down the notorious triple-option offense that West Geauga runs. "If we want to make playoffs and play on, this is the game to do it, plain and simple," said senior defensive captain Danny Sciortino
The key
With 5 minutes, 30 seconds left in the third quarter, Kenston safety/running back Pat Porter pounced on a fumbled Geneva handoff. At the 5:20 mark, Porter bolted 48 yards for a touchdown that gave the Bombers a 21-7 lead.
Not a bad 10 seconds.
Porter's three rushing touchdowns and a defense that took away Geneva's offensive bread and butter - the inside run - keyed a 33-13 Bombers win over the Eagles at Bomber Stadium Friday night.
Don't blame Chagrin Falls for being downright defensive about it.
The Tigers, coming off last week's big win against defending state champion Aurora, had to summon all their defensive prowess to hold off visiting Chagrin Valley Conference rival Kenston, 20-13, on Friday night at Harris Field.
If Chagrin Falls (5-0, 2-0) thought its lofty No. 3 ranking in Division IV would intimidate the Bombers, that notion was put to rest from the outset as Kenston (3-2, 1-1) took an early lead. But after that shaky start, the Tigers showed their mettle by nearly shutting down Kenston's offense the rest of the night.
CHAGRIN FALLS - Chagrin Falls gave up an early score, but knuckled down in the second half to defeat rival Kenston, 20-13, on homecoming on Friday night at Harris Stadium at Chagrin Falls High School.
The win kept the Tigers undefeated at 5-0 and 2-0 in the Chagrin Valley Conference Chagrin Division. The Bombers dropped to 3-2, 1-1 as the loss snapped their three-game win streak.
Kenston had an impressive drive to open the game, moving 71 yards in 13 plays as Kyle Weninger scored on a 5-yard touchdown run for an early 7-0 lead.
Chagrin Falls didn't answer until the second quarter when Bobby Winkelman scored on a 1-yard touchdown run with 4:22 left in the half. The score was tied at 7 at halftime.
