Norwayne boys heading to first state soccer championship game in school history

TWINSBURG − Fifteen minutes into the first half of a scoreless OHSAA Division V state semifinal match between Norwayne and Rootstown at Twinsburg Tiger Stadium on Wednesday, Nov. 11, Norwayne set the ball into the box, and forward/striker Erik Neruda was able to get a foot on it. A soft touch by Neruda was enough to get the ball over the Rootstown goalkeeper, who was coming off his lines, and it rolled into the net. That goal was the first of five for Norwayne in the Bobcats' (17-4-1) 5-2 victory over Rootstown (17-3-2) in a match where they took a 3-0 lead into halftime. Neruda's goal was a demonstration of how effective the Bobcats were in playing long balls downfield or switching the play to their forwards, who were able to make quality runs off the ball to put pressure on the Rovers backline for scoring chances. More: Chippewa's defensive activity swarms Hiland, heading to third straight state final "We were moving the ball well. We knew their defense was a little weaker," Neruda said. "We like to make runs and get out wide because the space is usually out wide, so we knew we had to exploit that. We

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.

Rootstown boys soccer state semifinal vs Norwayne High School

TWINSBURG — Rootstown's boys soccer state debut got off to a tough start. Norwayne controlled the start, setting the tone with two goals in the first 19 minutes, then added a goal right before and another after the intermission. How would the Rovers, who led virtually the entire postseason until then, respond? Rootstown responded with 35 minutes of inspired soccer to close its historic season, ultimately falling 5-2 to Norwayne in a Division V state semifinal Nov. 11. "You can't find a better class of kids that put the work ethic in and all that," Rovers coach Charlie Voth said. "They really worked hard." The Rovers' rally included a goal apiece from seniors Zach Pastor and Bryson Scarlett. Pastor's goal put him at 107 for his career, extending his Portage County record. "If I had a chance to take it back for the win, I would do it in a heartbeat," Pastor said. "It still means a lot being number one, but I would put it all away for this class and moving to the state championship." It was a record-breaking season for Rootstown (17-3-2) in multiple ways, as the program broke through for its first regional championship with a
