McKinley's 'bad streak' out of way, Bulldogs' 'good streak' rolls on
CANTON − McKinley’s dog days in regular-season finales dragged on with an 11th straight loss to Massillon. Quarterback Braylon Crook saw no reason to treat last Saturday’s loss like a final exam. “We shook it off fast,” he said after the Bulldogs bounced Brunswick 62-28 in an OHSAA Division I playoff game Friday, Oct. 30 . “We had four good days to prepare. Our attitude was, it’s a new season. Time to go win one.” For the ninth straight year, the Pups treated “the game after Massillon” like a rollicking recess. Brunswick kept spoiling the party with 6-foot-5 senior quarterback Connor Jamison, but Bulldog back DeMarlo Rozier kept serving back haymakers, scoring on runs of 15, 47 and 48 yards. Watch Ohio High School Football Live on NFHS Network all year It was news to Brunswick head coach James Boyeas that Rozier is the son of the DeMarlo Rozier , who made All-Ohio for McKinley’s 1997 team that won a USA Today national championship. “His son isn’t so bad himself,” Boyeas said. Boyeas played at Parma Padua after the elder Rozier had shifted from McKinley to Kent State. The coach is a foot taller than the younger Rozier, who is

(Photo: Chuck Cordes/Ohsfbemdia.com) CANAL FULTON, Ohio — The Northwest Indians advance to the second round of the OHSAA playoffs after they defeat Cleveland Central Catholic 36-16. They focused on a powerful ground attack with Conner Stephenson and Jakob Garber, consuming a lot of time early in the game to gain dominance. Combined, they ran for over 300 yards. "We've been that way all year," said Coach DeMarco, speaking on his team's strong running game. "And we wanted to ride 44 and 32, and we started with that in week one." They were so effective at controlling the clock, spending more than eight minutes in the second quarter to take the lead, and in another possession they controlled it for over six minutes. Cleveland Central Catholic could not get any offense going throughout the game, settling for punts and giveaways from a solid defense by the Indians that got two interceptions from Sanad Abueteen early and late in the game. "It's probably the game plan going forward," said Stephenson as he talked about the success of the

Ohio high school football powerhouse banned from playoffs amid probe
An investigation into a player's eligibility has removed Glenville, one of Ohio's premier high school football programs, from postseason play. The Akron Beacon Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network, reported that the Cleveland-area program's postseason ban stems from an audit of fall-sport participation that found many of the team's football players should be playing for other schools. This is not the first time that Glenville has received this punishment for the same situation. The other time was in 2018, when the program was also fined $5,000 and placed on probation for three years. According to the report, Ginn Academy, a non-OHSAA-member magnet school, is at the center of the investigation. The school does not offer sports, and athletes there can participate at other schools as long as they are in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District and live closest to that school. The report noted that the OHSAA is reviewing the extent of the violations and whether they extend to other schools in the area. They said there is no timetable for when the investigation will be completed or whether other penalties will be added. The Tarblooders are 8-2 on the year and were set to enter the postseason as
