Northmont, Wayne get first game looks at Saturday opponents
Northmont and Wayne scheduled big for Week 2, and they had to wait until Saturday night to get their first game looks at their opponents.
Both Cleveland St. Ignatius (Northmont’s foe on Saturday) and Canton McKinley (which will host Wayne, also on Saturday) provided plenty to check on film.
St. Ignatius topped Glenville 14-13 in a marquee Cleveland matchup in part because of an unusual special teams situation that hurt Glenville.
Glenville led 13-7 in the fourth quarter when its running back was injured on a third-down play. The running back is also the primary kicker, so the quarterback was forced to substitute as the punter on Glenville’s own 13-yard line.
The punt netted four years, and St. Ignatius, facing a fourth-and-9 with 2:13 left, scored the tying touchdown and kicked the extra point for the final margin.
The McKinley game wasn’t quite as exciting, as McKinley beat Cleveland East Tech 81-0 on the same field Wayne will visit on Saturday. In East Tech’s defense, though, the team dressed only 20 players for the game.
Area high school football fans enter the week feeling like the Miami Valley can prove something on Saturday against these state powers. Those opponents, at least, proved they’re as strong this season as tradition dictates.
