Walsh tops Hoban; Highland advances
GREATER AKRON — Week two of the high school football playoffs are in the books with only two area teams advancing to semifinal games. The second meeting between Walsh Jesuit and Hoban was a little different compared to the first when Hoban beat Walsh 30-0 during the regular season. Out for revenge, Walsh Jesuit knocked Hoban out of the playoffs for the second year in a row. Walsh’s Kinzy Shea was 8-of-11 passing for 111 yards in the game, and Cam Brunson had five catches for 82 yards. Oliver Nonno also made field goals of 44 and 28 yards. It was Walsh’s defense that capitalized as Nathan Allen, Ben Biel, Xavier Steele and Drew Wollschleger all intercepted passes from Hoban quarterback Major Cribbs, who finished 10-of-26 passing for 130 yards and a touchdown. Hoban finishes the season 4-7, and Walsh Jesuit advances to play Nordonia at home in the Division II Region 5 semifinal game.
