It's Friday and time to talk food. I hope everyone had a great Halloween weekend. I had a blast judging the Akron Art Museum's Circa Thriller Halloween costume contest for the second year.

Chippewa earns 18th clean sheet of season, blanks Kirtland for third straight regional title
RAVENNA — Scoring against Chippewa is just not an option for opposing teams these days. It's been that way for a while, actually. When Chippewa were Division V state runners-up in 2024, the Chipps conceded just 10 goals in their 23-match season.

Chippewa would go onto to do what they've done all season and blank another opponent, as the Chipps (19-0-1) shutout Kirtland (17-5-1) 3-0 for their third straight Division V regional title and another state Final Four appearance. It was Chippewa's 18th clean sheet of 2026. "I think our defense did a real good job tonight," said Chippewa senior midfielder Lilly Davis. "Everybody stayed on their man and did exactly what the gameplan was. We kept it away from the girls we needed to."
