Final Comments:
A lot of continuity in the Nordonia football program right now. We’re excited about a large group of young linemen and linebackers that are showing great potential. We’re excited. We have a team that I think can compete with our very respectable schedule of Bedford, Berea, Mayfield, Solon, the Suburban National, and Region 5. One week at a time.

(Probably not best thing to tell a father) but he said his son loves basketball. Years later I see he made switch to football and is playing at a high level. Best of luck young man!
Great family, great kid!
