Congratulations Chardon. Hell of an effort.
No quit in those boys. You definitely earned the victory. Let the celebration begin.

I thought Desales dominated ?

Well townie, seeing how you drank too much and never followed the thread, I was quoting someone who said Chardon front 7 dominated. That was far from how the first half turned out. Never said DeSales dominated anything.

One hell of a game. Congrats to Chardon and especially their community. I feel for SFD’s kicker ?

 

[arizonawildcat]

Thrilling game.

Ironically, the reversal of the Hook-n-Ladder may have been very fortunate for Chardon. Downed the ball at the DeSales 6, which compressed the box against the Stallions. Quick 3-n-out gets the ball back to Chardon from where they hit the quick wheel route to put them in striking distance down 7.

Compare that to it being a one-score game but DeSales likely having the ball further up-field (SFD >25) as a result of the kickoff... more field for the Stallions to possibly rip a spill or tunnel screen and get a first down with the clock rolling.

I loved Chardons QB quote: we've been together since the 2nd grade, DeSales can't say that.

It’s why they are so leathal in that system. They have been running it since they played peewee

 

[EagleFan68]

I loved the Chardon Principal's quotes at the end when he quoted the Bible and told the kids to thank God, but probably hates Catholic schools. Ironic

I’m not a big fan of these quotes because they emphasize a weird ‘othering’ that - we would hope - otherwise aren’t baked into kids’ minds.

And the only fundamental reason why DeSales wouldn’t have all its kids from one grade school is because whatever grade school would be 15-20% the enrollment of Chardon’s middle school(s.) If DeSales was a one middle-school feeding pattern, they would be D7.

Where is that RB from DeSales going to college?

He's a load

There's other Christians besides Catholics.

Man I feel terrible for that kicker. I was hoping he would tie it up and the game go on. Ya know he will feel it for a long time.

Not sure why someone needs to make that comment. You just won. I was happy for Chardon since from the general area, but that comment is just unnecessary. You won man, get on with it

I was hoping on 3rd they'd try a run with the intent to get in in the middle of the field.

Best username on Yappi? Go Toppers and go Maple Hot wings!

Crazy that Kirtland and Chardon are 5mins apart. If Lake wins that is 3 champs in a 10min radius.

 

[Bodhizafa]

Glad to see Chardon win. They put an end to the ol Catholic school division drop down trick used by DeSales this year.

So, there were some transfers into Chardon Local right after 1st grade?

Just to clarify, M_C_F is from Norwalk. I know Chardon also has ties to nicknames pertaining to maple leaves and trees.

That and the fact that some of their very good players played at St. Mary's in CYO in 6th-8th grade. So maybe most of them played together. Actually, I remember Chardon youth football had a split for a few years and played in two different leagues. Maybe the QB was just excited and didn't remember this. Or he meant they played together at recess. Either way Congratulations to Coach Hewitt and the Hilltoppers!

That area is the Mecca of HS football.

Sorry Pal. No Drop Down. The only drop down is your quote.
Congrats Chardon. You finally got the test you needed this season
and you pulled it off. Great Win.

Chardon 35
DeSales 34

Pretty close this time

 

[OldSoulon]

That area is the Mecca of HS football.

Also where Joseph Smith brought his people after getting kicked out of NY State.

 

[MentorGrad2002]

That area is the Mecca of HS football.

It is. And Mentor has done great without pillaging their neighbor communities like many big schools do ?

That 3 of our neighbor smaller schools may win titles in the same year we make the final four too says a lot

The high schools are 20 minutes apart and LC is further from chardon but they are pretty close
